Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. This record describes magnetometer data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2020_V06, titled "Probing the Australian-Pacific Plate Boundary: Macquarie Ridge in 3-D." The voyage took place between October 8 and November 3, 2020 departing from Hobart (TAS) and arriving in Hobart (TAS). The SeaSPY2 magnetometer uses an omnidirectional Overhauser sensor that requires no realignment or recalibration and has no heading error. The instrument has an absolute accuracy of 0.1 nT, sensor sensitivity of 0.01 nT and resolution of 0.001 nT. Data are stored in .CSV and .MMS data files at CSIRO. 219 MB of raw data was acquired in this dataset. No processing has been conducted on this data. The magnetometer was towed 300 m astern of the ship and a layback value of 361 m was applied to the magnetometer data. This was the total distance behind the ship's positioning reference point. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report.
