Description:
Multibeam data were measured during R/V Polarstern cruise ANT-XXII/3 along track lines of approximately 8000 NM total length during transits and partly during stationary work. Data were achieved on a transect along the Greenwich meridian, across the Weddell Sea from Kapp Norvegia to Joinville Island, across the Powell Basin, furthermore in the Drake Passage and west of Antarctic Peninsula. Short bathymetric surveys were carried out on the continental slope off Kapp Norvegia and Fimbulisen, and in the area of the Weddell Abyssal Plain. The multibeam sonar system Hydrosweep DS-2 was operated mainly in the HDBE softbeam mode with 240 depth values per swath and a receiving coverage of 100°. The refraction correction was achieved utilizing CTD profiles or the system's own cross fan calibration. 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.
