Swath sonar bathymetry during POLARSTERN cruise ANT-XVI/3 (PS53) with links to multibeam raw data files

Multibeam data were collected without operator supervision on R/V Polarstern cruise ANT-XVI/3 along track lines of approximately 6700 NM. Data were achieved during transits and stationary work in the Weddell Sea off the Ekstrom Ice Shelf and the Jelbart Ice Shelf and in the South Atlantic Ocean. An...

Description
Summary:Multibeam data were collected without operator supervision on R/V Polarstern cruise ANT-XVI/3 along track lines of approximately 6700 NM. Data were achieved during transits and stationary work in the Weddell Sea off the Ekstrom Ice Shelf and the Jelbart Ice Shelf and in the South Atlantic Ocean. An area of 140 x 140 km was surveyed with 15 km transect space at about 49.5°S and 20°E. 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.
