RV Investigator Voyage IN2015_C02 SBP120 Sub-bottom Profiler Data

This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2015_C02,Great Australian Bight Research Program: GAB deep-water pelagic and benthic ecosystem study which departed Port Lincoln on the 30 November 2015 and returned to Fremantle on the 22 December 2015.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 for a short (3 hour) period while departing Port Lincoln. SBP120 data was not collected for the remainder of the voyage.Data are stored in *.raw (16 files 250 MB) raw and *.seg (16 files 249 MB) 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.
