Ship-based Trackline Geophysical Data (MGD77) from the Southern Ocean acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1501 (2015)
This data set was acquired with a Echosounder, Seatex Seapath330 Navigation System and Bell Aerospace BGM-3 Gravimeter during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1501 conducted in 2015 (Chief Scientist: Dr. James Girton, Investigators: Dr. James Girton, Dr. Dean Roemmich). These data files are of MGD77 format and include Bathymetry, Gravity Field, Gravity Free Air Anomaly and Navigation data that were processed after acquisition. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collaborative Research: Pathways of Circumpolar Deep Water to West Antarctica from Profiling Float and Satellite Measurements. Funding was provided by NSF award(s): PLR13-41496.
