This record describes sub bottom profiler data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2020_V06, titled "Probing the Australian-Pacific Plate Boundary: Macquarie Ridge in 3-D." The voyage took place between October 8 and November 3, 2020 departing from Hobart (TAS) and arriving in Hobart (TAS). 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 for the extent of the voyage. The data collected was suitable for the tasks required surrounding Macquarie Island itself, but was of mostly low quality surrounding steep dipping terrain and the Macquarie ridge itself. Data are stored in .raw (3,465 files 14.4 GB) raw and .seg (3,502 files 14.4 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
