Processed Acoustic Backscatter Grids (NetCDF:GMT format) derived from ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired during the Kilo Moana expedition KM0804 (2008)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM0804 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Fernando Martinez). These data files are of NetCDF Grid format and include gridded Acoustic Backscatter data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Hydrothermal Activity at the Lau Integrated Studies Site, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE07-32536.

本数据集依托船载康士伯（Kongsberg）EM120多波束声呐系统采集得到，采集工作于2008年执行的“基洛莫阿纳”号（Kilo Moana）科考航次KM0804期间完成，该航次首席科学家为费尔南多·马丁内斯博士。本数据集文件采用NetCDF网格格式（NetCDF Grid format），包含网格化声学背散射数据，且已在数据采集完成后进行了后处理。本次数据采集隶属于“劳海集成研究区热液活动”研究项目，资助方为美国国家科学基金会（NSF），项目编号为OCE07-32536。
