This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2018_C01, 'RAN Hydrographic Survey' which departed Hobart on the 28th May 2018 and returned to Hobart on the 8th June 2018. The overall focus for this survey was to conduct a modern survey in the primary shipping route through Bass Strait and to facilitate safe navigation for international and coastal shipping. 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 (155 files 10.8 GB) raw and .seg (156 files 10.9 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
