RV Investigator Voyage IN2022_V05 Sub-bottom Profiler Data

Created 12/10/2024

Updated 12/10/2024

This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V05 "The Tsunamigenic Submarine Landslides and Deep-Marine Canyons of Australia’s Tasman Sea Margin: Causes and Consequences" which departed Hobart on 28th May 2022 and returned to Brisbane on the 3rd July 2022.

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/sporadically] for the extent of the voyage.

Data are stored in .raw (1,102 files 19.2 GB) raw and .seg (1,095 files 19 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
