IN2016_T01 Fiji to Hobart Transit Bathymetry 10m - 210m Multi-resolution AusSeabed products

This layer group describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2016_T01 titled "Continuity of Australian terranes into Zealandia: towards a geological map of the east Gondwana margin". The voyage took place between June 30 and July 14, 2016, departing from Lautoka (Fiji) and arriving in Hobart (TAS).\n\nThe purpose of this voyage was 1) to improve matches in the continental geology of eastern Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia; and 2) to characterize bio-optical and associated biogeochemical properties along the transect. Continuous mapping of the seafloor was carried out using the multibeam systems. \n\nThis dataset is published with the permission of CSIRO. Not to be used for navigational purposes.\n\nThe dataset contains bathymetry grids of 10m to 210m resolution of the transit from Fiji to Hobart produced from the processed EM122 and EM710 bathymetry data.\n\nLineage: Data processing for the EM122 and EM710 was performed using CARIS 9.1.1. Raw data files were converted to HIPS and SIPS format using different vessel files, and a zero tide was applied to the data before merging. All lines were swath edited and then subset edited, before HIPS to GSF and ASCII conversions.\n\nThe data was then gridded at multiple resolutions in python Caris batch script using a Depth filter Vs Resolution guideline derived from AusSeabed Multibeam guidelines v2 and further inspected for outliers. Final raster products are available in L3 folder of this collection. Final processed data were also exported per line as GSF and ASCII format and available in the L2 folder of this collection.\n
