Raw Acoustic Backscatter and Swath Bathymetry Data from the East Antarctic Continental Shelf acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1503 (2015)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract: 
This data set was acquired with a Kongsberg Maritime EM122 Multibeam Sonar during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1503 conducted in 2015 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Frank O. Nitsche, Investigator: Dr. Frank O. Nitsche). These data files are of MBSystem-compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter and Swath Bathymetry data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Vulnerability of East Antarctic Ice Streams to warm Ocean Water Incursions. Funding was provided by NSF award(s): PLR12-45879. This data was cited by Nitsche et al., 2017.
