Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. Sound velocity profiles were applied to this data during data acquisition. Bathymetry data contained in *.all format are corrected for motion and position and edited using CARIS version 11.4.18 Credit "Data collected on the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V02.","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 IN2023_V02, titled "Gigantic submarine landslide offshore western Tasmania: risk mitigation for shelf derived tsunami in Australia", which departed Hobart on March 24 and returned to Hobart on April 30, 2023. The Kongsberg EM710 MKII multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry, backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter during the voyage to the SW of Tasmania (Hobart to 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. Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 458 files totalling 70.5 GB of raw bathymetry/backscatter data and 458 (*.wcd) files totaling 528 GB 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 processed data for most lines. ...
