| Summary: | Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. Processed data are SV corrected, tide not corrected and edited using CARIS version 10.4 This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2020_V09 (SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania), which departed Hobart on the 27th August 2020 and returned to Hobart on the 12th September 2020. In addition to the tasks at the SOTS site the voyage also recovered a Rintoul mooring that was deployed during IN2020_V05. The Kongsberg EM122 multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry, backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter during the voyage. 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 196 files totalling 11.1 GB of raw bathymetry & backscatter data, and 196 files totalling 8.5 GB of raw watercolumn 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 and backscatter grids 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.
