Underway Oceanographic Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson June 2023

June 24-26, 2023 data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The dataset contains underway sensor measurements from the RV Cape Ferguson, contributed by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series of underway sensor data for oceanographic feature detection.
• Correlate sensor measurements with specific vessel trips, such as RV Cape Ferguson Trip 20230624.
• Process environmental monitoring data tagged for Oceanography and Marine Science applications.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a known national data aggregator.
• Dataset was last updated in March 2026, indicating active curation.

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, column count, and total row count are unknown.
• Data is limited to a 3-day voyage from June 24-26, 2023, offering a narrow temporal snapshot.
• Primary file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest a focus on visualizations or services rather than raw tabular data.
