This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1201 conducted in 2011 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Dennis McGillicuddy). 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): Impact of mesoscale processes on iron supply and phytoplankton dynamics in the Ross Sea, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT09-44165.
