RV Investigator Voyage IN2024_V04 SBP120 Sub-bottom Profiler Data

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2024_V04, 'Linking East Australian Current dynamics and submarine canyon geomorphology to marine ecosystem hotspots' which departed Sydney on the Friday 7th and returned to Brisbane on the on the Wednesday 3rd July. 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 sporadically for the extent of the voyage, it was run during video tow line mapping and when mapping lines of interest for the science party. Data are stored in .raw (402 files 6.64 GB) raw and .seg (401 files 6.57 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
