This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V05, titled "Untangling the causes of change over 25 years in the southeast marine ecosystem (Voyage 1). The voyage took place between June 28, 2023 and July 30, 2023 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart.

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 ( 2,896 files 65.7 GB) raw and .seg (2,871 files 65.2 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
