[{"name":"oden-oatrc-2013-bathymetry-1","title":"High-resolution bathymetry data from expedition OATRC, Arctic Ocean, 2013","summary":"Multibeam bathymetry from areas in the Arctic Ocean waters northeast of Greenland.\r\n\r\nHigh-resolution bathymetry data are commonly used to study, for example, general seafloor geology, glacial morphology, bottom habitats, and bottom current activities. The data were collected from Swedish icebreaker Oden during the Oden Arctic Technology Research Cruise (OATRC) 2013 expedition.\r\n\r\nThe bathymetry is acquired with a multibeam echo-sounder. The data are provided in the form of a compiled Digital Terrain Model with a grid cell size of 6\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u206018 m. The processing of the raw data was carried out using the Qimera software by QPS.","citations":"Jakobsson M, Mayer LA, Bringensparr C, Castro CF, Mohammad R, Johnson P, Ketter T, Accettella D, Amblas D, An L, Arndt JE, Canals M, Casamor JL, Chauch\u00e9 N, Coakley B, Danielson S, Demarte M, Dickson M-L, Dorschel B, Dowdeswell JA, Dreutter S, Fremand AC, Gallant D, Hall JK, Hehemann L, Hodnesdal H, Hong J, Ivaldi R, Kane E, Klaucke I, Krawczyk DW, Kristoffersen Y, Kuipers BR, Millan R, Masetti G, Morlighem M, Noormets R, Prescott MM, Rebesco M, Rignot E, Semiletov I, Tate AJ, Travaglini P, Velicogna I, Weatherall P, Weinrebe W, Willis JK, Wood M, Zarayskaya Y, Zhang T, Zimmermann M, Zinglersen KB, (2020) The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean Version 4.0.

A Kongsberg EM122 1\u00b0\u2060\u200a\u00d7\u200a1\u00b0\u2060, 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\u2019s 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.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe 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).\r\n\r\n\r\nThe OATRC 2013 expedition started and ended in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, and lasted from August 19 to September 3, 2013. It was carried out by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in collaboration with the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat. OATRC 2013 was a project associated with the Sustainable Arctic Marine and Coastal Technology (SAMCoT) centre, initiated by the Research Council of Norway and hosted by NTNU. OATRC 2013 was a follow-up to the OATRC 2012 expedition.","category":"Marine","subcategory":"Bathymetry","keywords":"Geophysics; Arctic Ocean; Bathymetry; Seafloor morphology; Multibeam; OATRC 2013 expedition; Icebreaker Oden","scientist":"Nina Kirchner, Markus Friding","firstname":"Martin","lastname":"Jakobsson","address":"Department of Geological Sciences; Stockholm University","postalcode":"SE-106 91","city":"Stockholm","province":"","country":"Sweden","parameters":"Earth science > Oceans > Bathymetry\/seafloor topography > Bathymetry","location":"Ocean > Arctic Ocean","progress":"Completed","language":"English","project":"Oden Arctic Technology Research Cruise (OATRC) 2013 expedition","publisher":"Bolin Centre Database","version":"1","constrains":"","access":""}]
