Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired during the Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0207 (2002)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0207 conducted in 2002 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Steve Cande; Investigator(s): Dr. Steve Cande and Dr. Joann Stock). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan 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): Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic Reconstructions of the Southwest Pacific, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OPP98-15283.
