RV Investigator Voyage IN2017_C02 EM710 MKII Multibeam Echosounder Data
This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2017_C02, ['Hogan Group Hydrographic Survey – Bass Strait'] which departed Hobart on the 4th May 2017 and came alongside Bell Bay following completion of the survey on the 14th May 2017.
The Kongsberg EM710 MKII multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information [and watercolumn backscatter] around Bass Strait.
The EM710 MKII provides a 0.5° by 1° transmit and receive angular resolution respectively. The echosounder's nominal frequency range is from 40 to 100 kHz.
Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 465 files totalling 156 GB of raw data in this dataset.
Sound velocity profiles were applied to this data during data acquisition. Bathymetry data contained in *.all format are corrected for motion and position.
Tide corrections were applied to the processed data using AusTides 2017. Processed data has had outliers removed. Processed line data are not available in *.gsf and ascii format, but can be requested.
Additional information regarding this dataset, including further information on processing streams, is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request.
