Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Ross Sea acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0803 (2008)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0803 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Philip Bart). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan, and Swath Bathymetry data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Ross-Sea outer continental shelf morphology and near-surface stratigraphy: Quaternary ice-sheet grounding-zone migrations and stratigraphy: Quaternary ice-sheet grounding-zone migrations and the LGM dilemma., and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT05-38475.
