RV Investigator Voyage IN2025_V03 SBP29 Sub-bottom Profiler Data

Updated: 2025-06-23

This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2025_V03, titled "COAST‐k – Clean Ocean Air Sampling upwind of Tasmania ‐ kennaook" which departed Hobart on the April 29, 2025 and returned to Hobart on the May 18, 2025. The Kongsberg SBP29 (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 SBP29 was logged continuously for the extent of the voyage. Data are stored in *.raw (366 files 8.12 GB) raw and *.seg (358 files 8.01 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
