Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. Processed data are SV corrected, tide corrected using RTK/GPS height and the EGM2008 geoid model and edited using Qimera 2.3.1. This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator Voyage IN2020_V08, titled "SOLACE - Southern Ocean Large Areal Carbon Export: quantifying carbon sequestration in subpolar and polar waters." The voyage took place between December 5, 2020 and January 16, 2021 departing from Hobart (TAS) and arriving in Hobart (TAS). The Kongsberg EM122 multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry, backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter while transiting between Hobart and study sites in the Southern Ocean. The EM122 provides a 1 degree by 1 degree angular resolution. The echosounder's nominal frequency is 12 kHz. Data are stored in *.all (364 files 19.7 GB) raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd (328 files 14.3 GB) format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. 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 applied to the processed data using RTK/GPS height and the EGM2008 geoid model in Qimera. 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.
