The SBP120 was logged continuously for the extent of the voyage, except for periods of mooring recovery/deployment when all acoustic systems were mandated to be suspended to communicate with the mooring beacons, and when holding station at mooring sites. Data are stored in *.raw (382 files 3.04 GB) raw and *.seg (382 files 3.04 GB) segy formats at CSIRO. The segy format data had a real time processing stream applied, which applies gain, a gain correction, bandpass filter (for depths < ~200m) or matched filter with replica shaping (for depths > ~200 m), and time variable gain. No attribute calculation for instantaneous amplitude was applied. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report.

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V03 titled: "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania". The voyage took place between May 4 and May 15, 2022 departing from Hobart (TAS) and returning to Hobart (TAS). . The ADCP was run for most of the voyage, it was switched to passive mode during PLAOS (Profiling Lagrangian Acoustic Optical System) deployments due to interference with the USBL. The 75 kHz ADCP was turned off in shallow water reducing interference with the EM710. Data was collected using UHDAS and post-processed using CODAS. Both the RDI Ocean Surveyor 150kHz ADCP and the RDI Ocean Surveyor 75kHz ADCP were run in narrowband. Internal triggering was used. The drop keel was set at 7m below the waterline for the duration of the voyage. Please refer to the voyage Computing and Instrumentation reports for further details regarding data acquisition. This dataset was processed (quality-controlled), and then archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC).

This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V03 titled: "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania". The voyage took place between May 4 and May 15, 2022 departing from Hobart (TAS) and returning to Hobart (TAS) Data for 8 deployments were acquired using the Sea-Bird SBE911 CTD 24, fitted with 36 twelve litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Sea-Bird-supplied calibration factors were used to compute the pressures and preliminary conductivity values. CSIRO -supplied calibrations were applied to the temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values. The final conductivity calibration was based on a single deployment grouping. The final calibration from the secondary sensor had a standard deviation (SD) of 0.0013055 PSU, well within our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’. The standard product of 1 decibar binned averaged were produced using data from the secondary sensors. The dissolved oxygen data calibration fit had a SD of 0.65937μM. The agreement between the CTD and bottle data was good. An Altimeter, PAR, Transmissometer, Fluorometer, and Turbidity were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. A secondary Altimeter was added from cast 2 onwards. The collected data were subsequently processed (quality-controlled), and archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC).
