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 sub bottom profiler 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 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, except for periods of mooring recovery/deployment when all acoustic systems were mandated to be suspended to communicate with the mooring beacons, and when holding station at mooring sites. Data are stored in *.raw (382 files 3.04 GB) raw and *.seg (382 files 3.04 GB) segy formats at CSIRO. The segy format data had a real time processing stream applied, which applies gain, a gain correction, bandpass filter (for depths < ~200m) or matched filter with replica shaping (for depths > ~200 m), and time variable gain. No attribute calculation for instantaneous amplitude was applied. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report.
