RV Investigator Voyage IN2024_T01 SBP120 Sub-bottom Profiler Data

Brief description

This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2024_T01, 'Transit Voyage: Fremantle to Hobart.' The primary objective of the voyage was the safe and timely transit of RV Investigator from Fremantle to Hobart in preparation for the following research voyage. During the transit various research projects were conducted, along with outreach, familiarisation and training activities. The voyage departed Fremantle on the 09 March and returned to Hobart on the 20 March.
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/sporadically] for the extent of the voyage.
Data are stored in .raw (260 files 5.77 GB) raw and .seg (257 files 5.69 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
