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.
