| Summary: | Progress Code: completed Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. Processed data are SV corrected, zero tide corrected and edited using CARIS version 10.3 This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on 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 Kongsberg EM710 MKII multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information between Hobart and the mooring deployment site. 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 at CSIRO. There are 21 files totalling 2.27 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 not applied to the processed data. Processed data has had outliers removed. Processed line data are available in *.gsf and ascii format, and processed bathymetry and backscatter grids in geotiff format. 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.
