Brief description
This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V06, titled "Integrated Marine Observing System: monitoring of East Australian Current property transports at 27 degrees South." The voyage took place between July 14 and July 30, 2022 (AEST), departing from Brisbane and returning to Brisbane. The Kongsberg EM122 multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry, backscatter information and watercolumn around Brisbane 27 degrees South. The EM122 provides a 1 degree by 1 degree angular resolution. The echosounder's nominal frequency is 12 kHz. Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 293 files totalling 21.1 GB of *.all raw data and 284 files totalling 26.6 GB of *.wcd raw 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 corrections were applied to processed data. Calculations are based on the Applanix PosMV Marinestar G4+ Ellipsoidal heights. 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. Additional data products may be available on request.Lineage

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 11.4.13
