Brief description
This record describes scientific split-beam echosounder data collected on the RV Investigator voyage IN2021_V02 (SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania), which departed Hobart on the 14th April 2021 and returned to Hobart on the 28th April 2021. The Simrad EK80 wide band transceivers (WBT) 38, 70, 120, 200 and 333 kHz, as well as the EK60 split-beam GPT 18kHz were used to acquire acoustic backscatter data to a range of 1500 m, during the voyage. All frequencies were logged sporadically (only when transiting) for the extent of the voyage. The frequencies were set to passive for the periods when stationary during the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw, *.bot and *.idx format at CSIRO. There are 422 files totalling 40.6 GB of raw data in this dataset. No processing has been conducted on this data. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request.Lineage
