Near-bottom Multibeam Sonar Data from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired with AUV ABE during the Kilo Moana expedition KM0417 (2004)

This Bathymetry data set was acquired with a Simrad SM2000 Multibeam Sonar system on the AUV ABE during Kilo Moana expedition KM0417 conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Langmuir). These data files are of Text File (ASCII) format. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): LAUB-FLEX: Deep Circulation and Dispersal in the Lau Basin using Floats, Integrated Hydrothermal and Petrological Studies of the Eastern Lau Spreading Center, and Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 2 of 5, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-41716, OCE02-41785, OCE02-41909, OCE02-41913, OCE02-42114, OCE02-42618, OCE02-42675, and OCE02-42902.

本水深测量数据集于2004年执行的Kilo Moana考察航次KM0417期间，由自主水下航行器（Autonomous Underwater Vehicle，AUV）ABE搭载Simrad SM2000多波束声呐系统采集获取，本次航次首席科学家为Charles Langmuir博士。本数据集采用文本文件（ASCII）格式存储。本次数据采集隶属于以下项目：LAUB-FLEX项目（利用浮标开展劳盆地深层环流与扩散研究）、东劳扩张中心热液与岩石学综合研究，以及“探险者深洋”劳盆地考察项目（为5次劳盆地考察中的第2次）。本数据集的采集得到美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF）的多项资助，资助编号依次为OCE02-41716、OCE02-41785、OCE02-41909、OCE02-41913、OCE02-42114、OCE02-42618、OCE02-42675及OCE02-42902。
