  • This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2025_V07, 'SOFS recovery voyage' which departed Hobart on the 1/7/2025 and returned to Hobart on the 6/7/2025, This voyage was staffed by only one GSM team member, thus 24 hours acquisition was not possible and there may be gaps in the data record. The EM124 provides a 1 degree by 1 degree angular resolution. The echosounder's nominal frequency is 12 kHz. Data are stored in *.kmall raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.kmwcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 53 files totalling 3.89 GB of raw data and 53 files totalling 9.61 GB of watercolumn data in this dataset. Sound velocity profiles were applied to this data during data acquisition. Bathymetry data contained in *.kmall format are corrected for motion and position. GPS tide was computed using the EGM2008 model and applied to the processed data. Processed data has had outliers removed. Additional information regarding this dataset, including further information on processing streams, is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report.

  • This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2025_V07, 'SOFS recovery voyage' which departed Hobart on the 1/7/2025 and returned to Hobart on the 6/7/2025. This voyage was staffed by only one GSM team member, thus 24 hours acquisition was not possible and there may be gaps in the data record. The Kongsberg SBP29 (sub bottom profiler) was used to acquire data containing the specular reflections at different sediment interfaces below the seafloor. The SBP120 provides a 3° by 3° angular resolution. The echosounder's frequency sweep range is from 2.5 to 7 kHz. The SBP29 was logged sporadically for the extent of the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw (39 files 0.8 GB) raw and *.seg (39 files 0.7 GB) segy formats at CSIRO. The segy format data had a real time processing stream applied, which applies gain, a gain correction, matched filter with replica shaping, an attribute calculation for instantaneous amplitude and time variable gain. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request

  • This record describes scientific split-beam echosounder data collected on the RV Investigator voyage IN2025_V07, 'SOFS recovery voyage' which departed Hobart on the 1/7/2025 and returned to Hobart on the 6/7/2025. This voyage was staffed by only one GSM team member, thus 24 hours acquisition was not possible and there may be gaps in the data record. The Simrad EK80 split beam echosounders for 18, 38, 70 120, 200 and (333) kHz were used to acquire acoustic backscatter data to a range of 1500 m, between the Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) mooring site and South Tasman Rise. All frequencies were logged sporadically for the extent of the voyage. The 333khz frequency was set to passive for the whole of the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw, *.bot and *.idx format at CSIRO.
