Processed Multibeam Sonar Data (version 1) near the Antarctic Peninsula acquired during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0104 (2001)

This data set was acquired with a SeaBeam Instruments model 2112 multibeam sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0104 conducted in 2001 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Peter Wiebe). These data files include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry 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): SO GLOBEC: Water-column nutrient analysis; SO GLOBEC: Water-column phytoplankton primary productivity; SO GLOBEC: Seabird distribution and abundance; SO GLOBEC: Krill distribution, physiology, and predations; Copepod prey abundance; SO GLOBEC: Mesoscale Circulation, Tides, and Mixing; SO GLOBEC: Hydrographic modeling, both biological and physical, and funding was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

本数据集由SeaBeam Instruments公司2112型多波束声呐系统采集于2001年执行的Nathaniel B. Palmer号科考航次NBP0104（首席科学家：Peter Wiebe博士）。本次数据文件包含声学背散射（Acoustic Backscatter）与条带测深（Swath Bathymetry）数据，且已在海上利用开源MB-System多波束声呐处理软件完成现场处理。本数据集自第1版起纳入GMRT合成数据集（GMRT Synthesis）。本次数据采集作为以下研究项目的一部分开展：SO GLOBEC：水体营养盐分析；SO GLOBEC：水体浮游植物初级生产力研究；SO GLOBEC：海鸟分布与种群丰度研究；SO GLOBEC：磷虾分布、生理特征与捕食行为研究；桡足类猎物丰度研究；SO GLOBEC：中尺度环流、潮汐与混合过程研究；SO GLOBEC：生物与物理海洋水文模拟研究。本研究由美国国家科学基金会（U.S. National Science Foundation）提供资助。
