This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2024_V01, 'Multidisciplinary Investigations of the Southern Ocean' which departed Hobart on 05/01/2024 and returned to Fremantle on 05/03/2024.

The Kongsberg EM122 multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry, backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter from Hobart, along the Antarctic ice edge to Fremantle.

The EM122 provides a 1 degree by 1 degree angular resolution. The echosounder's nominal frequency is 12 kHz.

Data are stored in .all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and .wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 1,199 files totalling 150.8 GB of raw data in this dataset.

Sound velocity profiles were applied to this data during data acquisition. Bathymetry data contained in .all format are corrected for motion and position. GPS tide was computed using the EGM2008 model and applied to the processed data. Processed data has had outliers removed. Processed line data are available in .gsf and ascii format, and processed bathymetry grids in geotiff format.

Additional information regarding this dataset, including further information on processing streams, is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request.
