RV Investigator Voyage IN2022_V09 EM710 MKII Multibeam Echosounder Data

This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V09, titled "Valuing Australia’s new Gascoyne Marine Park." The voyage took place between 0000 November 19, 2022 and 0700 December 19, 2022 (UTC), departing from Fremantle and returning to Fremantle.

The Kongsberg EM710 MKII multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter throughout the voyage in areas with water depths shallower than ~800m including areas within the Gascoyne and Ningaloo Marine Park.

The EM710 MKII provides a 0.5° by 1° transmit and receive angular resolution respectively. The echosounder's nominal frequency range is from 40 to 100 kHz.

Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 351 *.all files totaling 58.8 GB of raw bathymetry/backscatter data and 10 *.wcd files totaling 6.97 GB of watercolumn 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.

本数据集记录了RV Investigator号科考航次IN2022_V09采集的多波束回声测深数据，该航次主题为《澳大利亚新盖斯科因海洋公园价值评估》。本航次执行时间为协调世界时（UTC）2022年11月19日00:00至2022年12月19日07:00，起航及终靠港口均为弗里曼特尔港。

本航次采用康斯伯格（Kongsberg）EM710 MKII型多波束回声测深仪（multibeam echosounder），在水深约800米以浅的海域（涵盖盖斯科因海洋公园及宁格罗海洋公园范围内区域）采集了海底地形测深、反向散射信息以及水体反向散射数据。

该测深仪的发射与接收角分辨率分别为0.5°×1°，标称工作频率范围为40 kHz至100 kHz。

本数据集的测深与反向散射原始数据以*.all格式存储，水体反向散射数据以*.wcd格式存储，均保存于澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）。本数据集包含351个*.all格式文件，总容量达58.8 GB的原始测深/反向散射数据，以及10个*.wcd格式文件，总容量达6.97 GB的水体反向散射数据。

数据采集阶段已应用声速剖面对数据进行校正。*.all格式存储的测深数据已完成运动校正与位置校正。

采用EGM2008模型解算GPS潮汐信号并应用于预处理后的数据。预处理后的数据已剔除异常值。预处理后的测线数据以*.gsf及ASCII格式提供，预处理后的测深网格数据采用GeoTIFF格式存储。
