Processed Multibeam Sonar Data (version 1) near the Antarctic Peninsula acquired during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP9905 (1999)
This data set was acquired with a SeaBeam Instruments model 2112 multibeam sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP9905 conducted in 1999 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Douglas Wiens). These data files include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan, Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Study of the Structure and Tectonics in the Bransfield Strait Area; A Broadband Seismic Experiment for Study of the Tectonics and Structure of the Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Plate, and funding was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
