RV Investigator Voyage IN2017_C02 SBP120 Sub-bottom Profiler Data

Brief description

This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2017_C02, ['Hogan Group Hydrographic Survey – Bass Strait'] which departed Hobart on the 4th May 2017 and came alongside Bell Bay following completion of the survey on the 14th May 2017.
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 and .seg formats (4537 files 70 GB) 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
