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_V04, 'Constraining external iron inputs and cycling in the southern extension of the East Australian Current' which departed Hobart on the 11 September 2018 and returned to Hobart on the 8 October 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 in deep water. All frequencies were logged for the extent of the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw, *.bot and *.idx format at CSIRO. There are 897 files totalling 84.8 GB of raw data in this dataset. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request.
