Updated 25/06/2025

This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2019_V01, The availability of Antarctic krill to large predators and their role in biogeochemical recycling in the Southern Ocean which departed Hobart on the 19th January, 2019 and returned to Hobart on the 5th of March, 2019. 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 northernmost extent of the voyage. Data are stored in .raw (155 files 3.08 GB) raw and .seg (154 files 3.06 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
