IMOS Ship Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 4725

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 4725. The dataset covers the period from 14 February 2009 to 03 March 2009, providing marine sensor observations.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine sensor data from the RV Cape Ferguson to study oceanographic conditions during the specified time range.
• Integrate time series sensor data from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility with other IMOS datasets for broader environmental monitoring.
• Use the geospatial data from the voyage to map and model specific marine parameters recorded by the ship's sensors.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a defined temporal coverage from 14 February 2009 to 03 March 2009.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, ensuring standardized data stewardship.

Limitations

• Specific data volume, row count, and column schema are unknown, limiting immediate analytical utility.
• Data is from a single vessel trip, offering limited spatial and temporal scope for broader studies.
• Available file formats (HTML, PNG, WMS) suggest the primary data may be served via web services rather than as a direct tabular download.
