This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2019_V05, titled: "Integrated Marine Observing System: monitoring of East Australian Current property transports at 27 degrees South." The voyage took place between September 9 and September 29, 2019 departing from Brisbane (QLD) and arriving in Brisbane. The Kongsberg EM710 multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter east of the Brisbane coastline. The EM710 provides a 0.5° by 1° transmit and receive angular resolution respectively. The echosounder's nominal frequency range is from 70 to 100 kHz. Data are stored in .all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and .wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 58 files totalling 14.1 GB of raw data in this dataset. Sound velocity profiles were applied to this data during data acquisition. Bathymetry data contained in .all format is corrected for motion and position. Tide corrections were not applied to the processed data. Processed data had outliers removed. Processed line data are available in .gsf and ascii format, and processed bathymetry and backscatter grids in geotiff format. Additional information regarding this dataset, including further information on processing streams, is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request.
