RV Investigator Voyage IN2018_V06 ADCP Data

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2018_V06, titled: "Status and recovery of deep-sea coral communities on seamounts in iconic Australian marine reserves." The voyage took place from Hobart (TAS) to Hobart between November 23 and December 19, 2018. Data was collected during in2018_v06 for the entire voyage. Data was collected using UHDAS and post-processed using CODAS. Data was collected with the RDI Ocean Surveyor 75kHz and 150kHz ADCP, which were run in narrow band mode with 16m and 8m bins respectively. Bottom tracking was turned on while in shallow water for personal transfers and departing and arriving in Hobart. The ADCPs were occasionally turned off to reduce noise while troubleshooting USBL issues resulting in some gaps in the data. Internal triggering was used as external triggering was found to be unstable on previous voyages. The port drop keel was at 2m for the duration of the voyage. See the voyage computing and electronics report for more details regarding data acquisition. This dataset was processed and then archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.
