Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. Credit Data collected on the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V07. 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_V07, [FOCUS] which departed Hobart on the 15/11/23 and returned to Hobart on the 20/12/23. 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 sporadically for the extent of the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw (231 files 4.87 GB) raw and *.seg (236 files 4.83 GB) segy formats at CSIRO. The segy format data had a real time processing stream applied, which applies gain, a gain correction, matched filter with replica shaping, an attribute calculation for instantaneous amplitude and time variable gain.
