Introduction

The data described here were acquired during the NBP0701 Cruise aboard the icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer from Dec., 2006 to Jan, 2007. The sonobuoy data were part of a geophysical survey in the Adare Trough region of the Ross Sea, Antarctica. In addition, MCS, gravity, magnetics, bathy and other data types were also acquired. These data are available from the Marine Geoscience Data System at the URL MGDS-link .

Data Format

A number of the sonobuoys drift while they are recording. A procedure for correcting for this is described in the Selvans et al (2012) reference. Not all the sonobuoys recorded are presented here - only the ones used in the referenced studies. These however tend to be the best ones.
