IMOS Ship Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 5143 in October-November 2010

22 Oct 2010 to 05 Nov 2010 data collected by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. This dataset contains oceanographic sensor measurements from the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity program. The data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series of sensor data from the RV Cape Ferguson to study oceanographic conditions during the October-November 2010 voyage.
• Correlate sensor measurements with geographic location data from the trip to map marine phenomena.
• Use the sensor time series for calibrating or validating regional ocean models for the Australian tropical region.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 15-day voyage from 22 Oct 2010 to 05 Nov 2010, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Managed and provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized national data aggregator.

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, column names, and data volume (rows/size) are unknown, limiting analytical planning.
• Data is from a single, short-duration voyage, restricting temporal and spatial generalizability.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be served as visualizations or web services rather than raw tabular data.
