Multibeam data were collected during RV Polarstern cruise ANT-XXIX/3. Data are unprocessed and may contain outliers and blunders. Therefore the data should not directly be used for grid calculations and charting projects but need to be edited furthermore. The dataset consists of files in Atlas ASD rawdata format (.asd.acf + .asd.acf.idx). ASD data files can be processed using the software packages CARIS HIPS/SIPS.Ancillary sound velocity profiles (SVP) for data calibration are part of this dataset publication.

These data should not be used for navigational purposes.Data were provided to PANGAEA by Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research personnel (contact: infobathy@awi.de).
