Ship-based Trackline Geophysical Data (MGD77) from the James Ross Basin acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1602 (2016)
This data set was acquired with a Echosounder, Seatex Seapath 330 Navigation System and Bell Aerospace BGM-3 Gravimeter during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1602 conducted in 2016 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Matthew Lamanna, Investigators: Dr. Matthew Lamanna, Dr. Joseph Kirschvink). 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: Late Cretaceous-Paleogene Vertebrates from Antarctica: Implications for Paleobiogeography, Paleoenvironment, and Extinction in Polar Gondwana. Funding was provided by NSF award(s): ANT11-42052.
