Raw acoustic data collected by an EK80 echo sounder in Stromness Bay, South Georgia during the cruise DY158 on 5 January 2023

Acoustic backscatter data were collected on board the RRS Discovery during cruise DY158 on 05/01/2023 in Stromness Bay, South Georgia. Data were collected using a Simrad EK80 echosounder at 18, 38, 120, 200 and 333 kHz.

Funding source: This work was carried out in the frame of WCB-POETS survey cruises, and the methane survey was funded by the Collaborative Antarctic Science Scheme (CASS).
