Acoustic sounder charts were collected at six locations during Australian Antarctic Division Voyage 6 1994/95 (BANGSS) using the Kongsberg EA200 Echo Sounder on the Aurora Australis. BANGSS is an acronym for Big ANtarctic Geological and Seismic Survey. The voyage began on 6 February 1995 and finished on 12 April 1995. Each chart is labelled with information about when and where the data was collected: date, time, latitude and longitude. The charts provide a profile of the sea floor and have a time axis with numbers in the following format. the first two digits are the day the next two digits are the month the next five digits are the time (UTC) the last ten digits are the maximum value on the depth axis eg 2402005 360000000500 means 24 February 5:36 UTC and the maximum value on the depth axis is 500 metres See a Related URL for a link to information about the voyage including the voyage report.
