Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. Processed data are SV corrected, GPS tide applied using EGM2008 model and edited using CARIS version 11.4.7 Credit "Data collected on the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V03.","The MNF must be acknowledged in all outputs derived from Data and/or Samples collected by, or with support from, the MNF. Acknowledge the MNF in outputs with the statement: “We acknowledge the use of the CSIRO Marine National Facility (https://ror.org/01mae9353 ) in undertaking this research.” Acknowledgment and citations should be in all forms of publication including presentations (where the acknowledgement should be on the closing slide), journals, books, reports and related research outputs." This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V03, "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania", which departed Hobart on the 4th May 2022 and returned to Hobart on the 15th May 2022 (AEST). The Kongsberg EM710 MKII multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter in shallow water (<1000m) on the shelf of Tasmania during the transit to and from Hobart. The EM710 MKII provides a 0.5° by 1° transmit and receive angular resolution respectively. The echosounder's nominal frequency range is from 40 to 100 kHz. During IN2022_V03 the frequency range was set from 70 to 100kHz. Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 32 *.all files totaling 5.52 GB of raw bathymetry/backscatter data and 32 *.wcd files totaling 26.2GB of 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. GPS tide was computed using the EGM2008 model and applied to the ...
