IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, April 2025

Australian marine sensor data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered from the RV Cape Ferguson research vessel during a trip from 11 to 14 April 2025. It is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling short-term oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine environments based on time-series collection.
• Calibrating satellite or model data with in-situ sensor observations from a research vessel.

Strengths

• Data is part of a national integrated marine observing system (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is documented (11-14 April 2025).
• Last metadata update was recorded on 2026-03-22.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip.
