This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0802 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. David Caron). 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): Collaborative Research: Do crustacean zooplankton play a pivotal role in structuring heterotrophic plankton communities. and Ross-Sea outer continental shelf morphology and near-surface stratigraphy: Quaternary ice-sheet grounding-zone migrations and stratigraphy: Quaternary ice-sheet grounding-zone migrations and the LGM dilemma., and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT05-42456.
