IMOS Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson April 2023

April 23-25, 2023 data was collected by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. This dataset contains underway sensor observations from Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System Ships of Opportunity program.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic conditions during the specific voyage from April 23 to 25, 2023.
• Process underway data from the RV Cape Ferguson to study marine environmental patterns in the specified region.
• Integrate sensor observations from the IMOS Ships of Opportunity facility with other marine datasets for temporal analysis.

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 April 2023.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized organization for ocean data.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, sample data, row count, and file size are unknown, limiting analytical planning.
• Primary data formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) are atypical for direct quantitative analysis and may require conversion.
• The license is listed as 'notspecified', creating uncertainty for commercial or redistribution use.
