Bathymetric and structural data of Lake Afdera and surroundings, Afar, Ethiopia

We present data from the Lake Afdera (13.26N; 40.90E) and its surrounding. Equipped with a small inflatable boat and an echosounder (Humminbird, 899ci hd si system), we surveyed the lake to obtain its first complete bathymetric map. We further investigated the fault pattern around the lake to interpret the lineaments observed in the bathymetry.

本研究公开阿法德拉湖（Lake Afdera，北纬13.26°；东经40.90°）及其周边区域的实测数据集。研究团队搭载小型充气船与Humminbird 899ci HD SI型回声测深仪（echosounder）对该湖开展全域勘测，获取了其首份完整的湖底水深地形图（bathymetric map）。此外，本研究还针对湖泊周边的断裂构造格局展开系统调查，以解译水深测量结果中观测到的线性构造特征。
