| Summary: | Progress Code: completed Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. Processed data are SV corrected, tide not corrected and edited using CARIS version 10.3.1 This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2019_V01, The availability of Antarctic krill to large predators and their role in biogeochemical recycling in the Southern Ocean which departed Hobart on the 19th January, 2019 and returned to Hobart on the 5th of March, 2019. The Kongsberg EM122 multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry, backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter between Hobart and Antarctica. The EM122 provides a 1 degree by 1 degree angular resolution. The echosounder's nominal frequency is 12 kHz. Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 965 files totalling 51.9 GB of raw bathymetry/backscatter data and 943 files totalling 106 GB of raw water column 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 had outliers removed. Processed line data are available in *.gsf and ascii format, and processed bathymetry in geotiff format. Additional information regarding this dataset, including information on processing streams, is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request.
