Processed Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) from the Southern Ocean acquired during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0008 (2000)

This data set was acquired with a SeaBeam Instruments model 2112 multibeam sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0008 conducted in 2000 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Stan Jacobs). These data files include Swath Bathymetry, Acoustic Backscatter data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. These data are included in the GMRT Synthesis, beginning with version 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Shelf and Bottom Water Formation Near East Antarctic Polynyas and Glaciers; Circumpolar Deep Water and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and funding was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

本数据集通过SeaBeam Instruments 2112型多波束声呐系统采集，采集工作于2000年执行的内森尼尔·B·帕尔默（Nathaniel B. Palmer）号考察航次NBP0008期间完成，本次航次首席科学家为斯坦·雅各布斯博士。本次采集的数据包含条带测深（Swath Bathymetry）数据与声学背散射（Acoustic Backscatter）数据，并已在航次期间借助开源多波束声呐处理软件MB-System完成海上处理。本数据集已被纳入GMRT合成数据集（GMRT Synthesis），自版本1起正式收录。本次数据采集隶属于以下研究项目：东南极冰间湖与冰川附近陆架及底层水形成研究；绕极深层水与西南极冰盖研究。本项目得到美国国家科学基金会（U.S. National Science Foundation）资助。
