Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP9905 (1999)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2112 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP9905 conducted in 1999 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Douglas Wiens). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan data that have not been processed. These data are included in the GMRT Synthesis, version 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): A Broadband Seismic Experiment for Study of the Tectonics and Structure of the Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Plate and Study of the Structure and Tectonics in the Bransfield Strait Area, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OPP97-26180 and ANT98-14622.

本数据集由船载SeaBeam 2112多波束声呐系统采集，数据来自1999年执行的Nathaniel B. Palmer号考察航次NBP9905（首席科学家：道格拉斯·威恩斯博士）。所有数据文件均采用MBsystem兼容格式存储，包含未经处理的声学背散射数据、条带测深数据与侧扫声呐数据。本数据集已纳入GMRT合成数据集（版本1）。本次数据采集隶属于两项研究课题：其一为用于研究南极半岛与斯科舍板块构造及内部结构的宽带地震实验，其二为针对布兰斯菲尔德海峡区域构造与结构的研究；数据采集经费由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF）的OPP97-26180与ANT98-14622两项拨款资助。
