AFSC/REFM: Acoustics from vessels of opportunity - EBS factory-trawlers

Description

The dataset is comprised of acoustic data recorded from SIMRAD ES-60 and ES-70 echosounders on board commercial fishing vessels fishing walleye pollock in the Bering Sea, during the winter (January - April). This data collection began in 2002 and ended in 2017 with between 2 to 6 vessels collecting data annually. RAW data files store the acoustic return as well as GPS location, date, and time. OUT data files paired with the RAW data files store bottom depth as determined by a SIMRAD internal algorithm.
