Southern Surveyor Voyage SS 06/97 Single beam acoustic data

This data set contains Simrad EK500 single beam echosounder data at 38 and 120 kHz and Simrad EA500 single beam echosounder data at 12 kHz from the Southern Surveyor. The EK500 data is primarily for water column characterisation (fish stocks, microplankton distribution) and on occasions for seabed classification (particularly prior to the EM300 swath mapper being installed), while the EA500 data is primarily for bathymetric readings.

本数据集包含搭载于南方调查船（Southern Surveyor）的西姆拉德EK500（Simrad EK500）单波束回声测深仪数据，其工作频率为38 kHz与120 kHz；同时包含该船搭载的西姆拉德EA500（Simrad EA500）单波束回声测深仪数据，工作频率为12 kHz。其中EK500数据主要用于水体特征表征（涵盖鱼类种群、微浮游生物分布），偶尔也用于海底分类（尤其在EM300条带测深仪安装之前）；而EA500数据则主要用于水深测量。
