NMFS water column sonar data are archived here. Provide a searchable inventory of NMFS water column sonar data archived at the National Centers for Environmental Information. Cruises have specific citations that should be used when incorporating these data into your research, etc. Please see the ReadMe file provided during download or the "Cruise Details" for detailed information.
