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

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. This dataset represents underway sensor observations from a specific voyage between 11 and 14 April 2025. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this record in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine environments based on the specific voyage time range
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ shipborne observations likely collected by the facility

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Covers a specific, documented voyage from 11 to 14 April 2025
• Published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized national data aggregator

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel's voyage
