Raw acoustic data collected by an EK60 echo sounder in the Scotia Sea on board the RRS James Clark Ross cruise JR177 (Jan - Feb 2008)
Acoustic backscatter data were collected on board the RRS James Clark Ross (cruise JR177) as part of the Discovery 2010 programme.
Data were collected using a Simrad EK60 echo sounder at 38, 120 and 200 kHz. The EK60 was run continuously from Stanley (Falkland Islands) to Signy (South Orkney Islands), then to South Georgia across the Scotia Sea in the austral summer from December 2007 - February 2008. Dedicated acoustic transects were also run at a number of stations within these transects. The EK60 was calibrated during JR177 (10-11th February 2008). More information about the calibration can be found in the Cruise Report for JR177: https://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/information_and_inventories/cruise_inventory/report/jr177.pdf
JR177 was the second of three cruises which comprise the field studies of the British Antarctic Survey's (BAS) core science Discovery 2010 programme, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council.

Methodology:
The dataset comprises Simrad raw format files that have not undergone any processing or quality checking. The raw data files (Simrad .raw format) are stored by the Polar Data Centre (PDC) at BAS. Each data file contains approximately 13 minutes of data and is approximately 26 MB in size. Each data file contains raw ping data with associated GPS fixes and date/time.
Data collection:
Data collected using a hull-mounted Simrad EK60 echo sounder.
