Processed Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) near the Antarctic Peninsula acquired during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1003 (2010)

This data set was acquired with a Kongsberg model EM120 multibeam sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1003 conducted in 2010 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Douglas Nowacek). These data files include Sidescan, Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collaborative Research: The Ecological Role of a Poorly Studied Antarctic Krill Predator: The Humpback Whale, Megaptera Novaeangliae, and funding was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

本数据集采用康士伯（Kongsberg）EM120型多波束声呐系统采集，数据采自2010年开展的内森尼尔·B·帕尔默（Nathaniel B. Palmer）号科考航次NBP1003，该航次首席科学家为道格拉斯·诺瓦塞克（Douglas Nowacek）博士。本数据集包含侧扫声呐（Sidescan）数据、声学背散射（Acoustic Backscatter）数据以及条带测深（Swath Bathymetry）数据，所有数据均在科考船上通过开源多波束声呐处理软件MB-System完成处理。本次数据采集作为合作研究项目“南极磷虾鲜少被研究的捕食者——座头鲸（Megaptera Novaeangliae）的生态作用”的一部分实施，项目资助方为美国国家科学基金会（U.S. National Science Foundation）。
