| Summary: | Progress Code: completed Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2018_V08, The Balleny mantle plume: key role in Tasmania-Antarctic breakup?, which departed Hobart on the 27/12/2018 and returned to Hobart on the 10/01/2019. The voyage objectives was to identify/map seamounts of the Balleny seamount chain and dredge volcanic samples from the identified seamounts. The Kongsberg SBP120 (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 SBP120 was logged [continuously/sporadically] for the extent of the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw (392 files 8.86 GB) raw and *.seg (22507 files 21.8 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
