Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Southern Pacific Ocean acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0804 (2008)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract: 
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0804 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Joann Stock). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collection of marine geophysical data on transits of R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT03-38317.
