A Multibeam Echosounder system is used to measure bathymetry (depth of the ocean). The resultant data can be used to map large areas of the seafloor.
| Dataset Name | PI-Supplied Description | PI-Supplied Name |
|---|---|---|
| Best bathymetry to date in the Southern Ocean from RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer cruises NBP010, NBP0104, and NBP0202 from 2001-2002 (SOGLOBEC project) | Multibeam system was used to measure the bathymetry data | Multibeam |
| Trawl metadata: date, time, duration, number of fish in cage, manipulations from F/V Stormy Weather NEC-HH2006-1 in the Gulf of Maine, off New Hampshire coast from 2008-2008 (NEC_ProjDev project) | 300-kHz EM3002 multi-beam sonar system (Kongsberg Maritime) - used to collect acoustic backscatter of the fish in the cage. The EM3002 single head has 160 beams each with 1.5° circular beamwidth that can collectively cover a 130° sector. | Multibeam Echosounder |
