Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, November 2024

From 28 November 2024 to 30 November 2024, this dataset contains underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. It was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during trip 20241128 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing temporal changes in marine parameters during a specific research voyage.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ observations from a research vessel.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage is defined as 28 to 30 November 2024.
• Data originates from a dedicated research vessel, the RV Cape Ferguson.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
