This record describes magnetometer data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2025_V02, ' SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania ' which departed Hobart on the 26th March and returned to Hobart on the 14th April 2025.

The SeaSPY2 magnetometer uses an omnidirectional Overhauser sensor that requires no realignment or recalibration and has no heading error. The instrument has an absolute accuracy of 0.1 nT, sensor sensitivity of 0.01 nT and resolution of 0.001 nT.

Data are stored in .CSV and .MMS data files at CSIRO. 29.69 MB of raw data was acquired in this dataset.

No processing has been conducted on this data.

The magnetometer was towed 300 m astern of the ship and a layback value of 361 m was applied to the magnetometer data. This was the total distance behind the ship's positioning reference point.

Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report.
