RV Investigator Voyage IN2023_V01 SBP120 Sub-bottom Profiler Data

Brief description

This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V01, titled "Antarctic Bottom Water Production in the past: Records from marine sediments, Cape Darnley, East Antarctica". The voyage took place between 25th January, 2023 and 2nd March, 2023 departing from Henderson's (WA) and arriving in Hobart (TAS).
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.
Data are stored in .raw (2,284 files 41.4 GB) raw and .seg (1,078 files 20.8 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.
Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request
