Acoustic data in the Beaufort Sea: 2005-2011

The data set is composed of raw files recorded with a SIMRAD EK60 three-frequency split-beam echosounder that was operated continuously during the annual ArcticNet (2005-2010) and the 15 months IPY-CFL (2007-2008) sampling expeditions aboard the CCGS Amundsen. Three 7° transducers were hull-mounted, two in oil-filled arctic wells protected by a 2.5 cm thick acoustically transparent polycarbonate plate (38 and 120 kHz) and one in a Traveocean piston well in direct contact with water (200 kHz). The acoustic signal was recorded continuously on a PC using ER60 software version 2.0.0. Ping interval was set at 2 or 3 s and the pulse length was set at 1.024 ms.
