Description
Summary:This data set was acquired with a Kongsberg model EM120 multibeam sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0606 conducted in 2006 (Chief Scientist: Dr. B. Mitchell). These data files include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan, Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Plankton community structure and iron distribution in the southern Drake Passage and Scotia Sea, and funding was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
