The Kongsberg EM710 MKII multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry, backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter during the voyage to the SW of Tasmania (Hobart to Hobart). 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 458 files totalling 70.5 GB of raw bathymetry/backscatter data and 458 (*.wcd) files totaling 528 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 for most lines. In some cases of bad navigation due to runoff issues with the POSMV, data were reduced using tides instead of GPS heighting and complemented by the application of delayed heave. These lines are noted in the multibeam processing log (in2023_v02_MBES_processing_log.xlsx).
