Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson July 2022 Voyage

July 28-30, 2022 data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. The dataset originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility and is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic time series data from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility for environmental monitoring.
• Process sensor data tagged for Oceanography and Marine Science to study specific conditions during the July 2022 voyage.
• Integrate this dataset with other IMOS data using its temporal coverage (July 28-30, 2022) and geographic focus (Australia).

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 3-day voyage (July 28-30, 2022) providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Managed and distributed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, sample data, row count, and file size are unknown, limiting initial assessment.
• Primary file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the data may be served as visualizations or web services rather than raw tabular data.
• License is listed as 'notspecified', which may create uncertainty for commercial or redistribution use.
