This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2017_T02, 'Collaborative Australian Postgraduate Sea Training Alliance Network (CAPSTAN): Training the Next Generation of Marine Scientists'. The voyage took place between November 14 and November 26, 2017 departing from Fremantle (WA) and arriving in Hobart (TAS).

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 (139 files 12.2 GB) raw and .seg (139 files 12.2 GB) segy formats at CSIRO. Dedicated shelf transects were run from 15/11/2018 until 20/11/2018.

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
