Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson January 2023

Sensor data was collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson from 14 to 16 January 2023. The dataset supports oceanographic and environmental monitoring research, contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the specific 3-day voyage
• Correlate underway sensor readings with known tropical research vessel routes
• Process marine environmental monitoring data from the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Provides a focused 3-day time series from a specific research vessel voyage in January 2023
• Managed and contributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network organization

Limitations

• The dataset's specific variables, row count, and file size are unknown
• Data is limited to a single, short 3-day voyage, restricting temporal analysis
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest it may be primarily for visualization, not raw tabular analysis
