Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Amundsen Sea acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0901 (2009)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract: 
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0901 conducted in 2009 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Stan Jacobs). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Swath Bathymetry, Sidescan, and Acoustic Backscatter data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collaborative International Research: Amundsen Sea Influence on West Antarctic Ice Sheet Stability and Sea Level Rise, Shedding dynamic light on iron limitation: The interplay of iron limitation and dynamic irradiance conditions in governing the phytoplankton distribution in the Ross Sea, and Collaborative Research: Sampling the ocean - sea ice interaction in the Pacific center of the Antarctic Dipole, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OPP06-32282. This data was cited by Cochran et. al., 2014.
