Description
Summary:Progress Code: completed Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. This record describes scientific split-beam echosounder data collected on the RV Investigator voyage IN2018_V07, SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series Automated Moorings for Climate and Carbon Cycle Studies Southwest Tasmania which departed Hobart on the 20/08/2018 and returned to Hobart on the 25/08/2018. The Simrad EK60 split beam echosounders 18, 38, 70 120, 200 and 333 kHz were used to acquire acoustic backscatter data to a range of 1500 m, between Hobart and the mooring deployment site and return. All frequencies were logged continuously for the extent of the voyage. The all frequencyies were set to passive for the whole of the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw, *.bot and *.idx format at CSIRO. There are 591 files totalling 19.2 GB of raw data in this dataset. No processing has been conducted on this data.
