Multibeam Sonar Acoustic Backscatter of Izu-Bonin Marianas (IBM) Margin - U.S. Law of the Sea Compilation

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM122 Multibeam Sonar system and Kongsberg EM121A Multibeam Sonar system assembled as part of the 2006 IBM:Gardner data compilation (Chief Scientist: Dr. James Gardner). These data files are of ESRI ASCII Grid format and include gridded Acoustic Backscatter data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Compilation of UNH Law of the Sea bathymetry and backscatter mapping in the Marianas region, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): Law of the Sea. This data was cited by Gardner, 2010.

本数据集通过船载康斯伯格（Kongsberg）EM122多波束声呐系统与康斯伯格EM121A多波束声呐系统采集完成，上述声呐系统为2006年IBM:Gardner数据整合项目的组成部分，该项目首席科学家为詹姆斯·加德纳博士。本数据集文件采用ESRI ASCII栅格（ESRI ASCII Grid）格式，包含网格化声学背散射（Acoustic Backscatter）数据，且已在数据采集完成后完成处理流程。本次数据采集工作隶属于如下项目：马里亚纳海域新罕布什尔大学（University of New Hampshire, UNH）海洋法相关水深与背散射测绘数据整合项目，本项目由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）的“海洋法”资助项目提供资金支持。该数据集已被加德纳（Gardner）于2010年的研究中引用。
