Swath sonar bathymetry during POLARSTERN cruise ANT-IX/3 (PS18) with links to multibeam raw data files ...

Multibeam data were collected during R/V Polarstern cruise ANT-IX/3. Data recording was executed on transit from Cape Town to Neumeyer Station, in Weddell Sea off Antarctic ice shelf and back to Cape Town. Data recording was supervised by three hydrographers. Data are unprocessed and may contain out...

Description
Summary:Multibeam data were collected during R/V Polarstern cruise ANT-IX/3. Data recording was executed on transit from Cape Town to Neumeyer Station, in Weddell Sea off Antarctic ice shelf and back to Cape Town. Data recording was supervised by three hydrographers. Data are unprocessed and may contain outliers and blunders. Therefore the data should not directly be used for grid calculations and charting projects but need to be edited furthermore. The dataset consists of 32 files in ATLAS ascii multibeam format including 'record control words' (*.dux) which are compressed with GZIP to size of 221 MB. Atlas DUX data files can be processed using the open source software package MB-System (http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/res/pi/MB-System/). Values of depths and lateral distances are averaged with neighbouring beams. The file ant09_3-hyd.tar.gz includes the bathymetry in AWI Hyd-format (hdl:10013/epic.37976) including not averaged depths and lateral distances. Contact mailto:infobathy@awi.de for data access. ...
