The grids are provided both in polar stereographic projection (IBCAO Polar Stereographic, [EPSG 3996](https://epsg.io/3996), true scale at 75 degrees north) and in geographic coordinates ([WGS 84](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System_1984), latitude and longitude). The horizontal datum is WGS 84 and the vertical datum is instantaneous sea level, implying that the vertical level has not been corrected for tides. For each projection, the bathymetric data grids are available in four formats: GeoTiff, netCDF, ASCII XYZ and ESRI Arc ASCII grid. Data are also illustrated as JPEG images. The data were acquired in summer 2012 from Swedish icebreaker (IB) Oden during the LOMROG III expedition. A Kongsberg EM122 1°⁠ × 1°⁠, 12 kHz, multibeam echo-sounder was hull-mounted in IB Oden. Position, heading and attitude data were received from a Kongsberg-Seatex Seapath 320 navigation unit (GPS and GLONASS) with attached MRU5 motion sensor. The exact speed of sound at the multibeam transducers was provided by a Valeport Mini SVS/T sound speed and temperature sensor mounted in the sea-chest in Oden’s hull, close to the multibeam transducer arrays. This was interfaced with the multibeam system directly. In addition, sound speed profiles for the entire water column were provided by CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) stations as well as XBT (Expendable Bathy Thermograph) probes. The data were collected in a mixture of sea-ice conditions, ranging from 5/10 to 8/10 coverage. Navigation was provided by a Seatex Seapath 320 without local augmentation as this is not available in the area. Sound speed correction was done regularly using data from a Seabird 911+ CTD (conductivity, temperature depth) or Valeport SVP (sound velocity profiler). The LOMROG III expedition started and ended in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, and lasted from July 31 to September 14, 2012. This was a follow-up to LOMROG, conducted in 2007, and LOMROG II conducted in 2009. The expedition was carried out by the Danish Continental Shelf Project in cooperation with the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat and the Swedish Maritime Administration.
