Swath sonar bathymetry during POLARSTERN cruise ANT-XVI/2 (PS53) with links to multibeam raw data files

Multibeam data were collected without operator supervision on R/V Polarstern cruise ANT-XVI/2 along track lines of approximately 6800 NM. Data were achieved during transits and stationary work in the Atlantic Ocean, the South and the East Weddell Sea; amongst others between Atka Bay and Halley Bay,...

Description
Summary:Multibeam data were collected without operator supervision on R/V Polarstern cruise ANT-XVI/2 along track lines of approximately 6800 NM. Data were achieved during transits and stationary work in the Atlantic Ocean, the South and the East Weddell Sea; amongst others between Atka Bay and Halley Bay, at the northern part of Filchner Trough, and off the Ronne Ice Shelf. A transect along the Greenwich meridian was taken between 66.5°S and 48°S during the transit from Neumayer to Cape Town. The multibeam sonar system Hydrosweep DS-2 was operated using 59 beams and 90° aperture angle. The quality of data might be reduced during bad weather periods or adverse sea ice conditions. The dataset contains raw data that are not processed and thus may contain errors and blunders in depth and position.
