November 1998 processed underway data from the Franklin voyage FR 14/98 along the New South Wales Coast. The dataset includes navigation, thermosalinograph, meteorological, and sounder data recorded at 5-minute intervals. It is archived by the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart.
Use Cases
- Analyze coastal oceanographic conditions based on thermosalinograph (TSG) data
- Model ship navigation patterns based on GPS-derived latitude, longitude, direction, and speed
- Study meteorological interactions based on atmospheric temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, and radiation data
- Correlate environmental variables over time based on 5-minute interval recordings
Strengths
- Includes four standard underway data types: navigation, sounder, thermosalinograph, and meteorological
- Data recorded at or averaged over 5-minute intervals, providing temporal granularity
- Processed and archived by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single voyage in November 1998
