RV Cape Ferguson Underway Sensor Data from August 2009

Ships of Opportunity data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System from the RV Cape Ferguson during a voyage from 13 to 19 August 2009. The dataset contains sensor measurements and vessel tracking information for marine science and oceanography research.

Use Cases

• Analyze vessel tracking patterns and sensor data time series for oceanographic research.
• Correlate sensor measurements with specific geographic locations from the voyage track.
• Study marine conditions in the sampled region during the August 2009 observation period.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Provides a focused 7-day time series from a specific research vessel voyage.
• Includes vessel tracking and sensor data relevant for marine science applications.

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, column count, and total data volume are unknown.
• Data is from a single, short-duration voyage in August 2009, limiting temporal scope.
• Available file formats (HTML, PNG, WMS) may not be ideal for direct quantitative analysis.
