Progress Code: completed Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2019_T03, "ORCA: Using the Investigator radar as a moving reference for the Australian operational radar network" which departed Darwin on the 23 December 2019 and returned to Henderson on the 2 January 2020. 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 for the extent of the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw (538 files 10.3 GB) raw and *.seg (534 files 10.2 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 (for linear chirp) or bandpass filter (for ricker pulse), and time variable gain.
