IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 5145

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 5145. The dataset covers oceanographic and environmental monitoring from 17 November 2010 to 22 November 2010. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic time series data from the RV Cape Ferguson's underway sensors for environmental monitoring.
• Process sensor data from the SOOP facility to study marine conditions during the specified 6-day voyage.
• Integrate this IMOS SOOP dataset with other marine science data using its temporal and geographic metadata.

Strengths

• Data originates from the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), a major Australian marine science project.
• Provides a specific 6-day time range from 17 to 22 November 2010 for focused temporal analysis.
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network organization.

Limitations

• Column names and data schema are unknown, complicating direct analysis.
• Sample data and row count are unavailable, preventing assessment of dataset scale and completeness.
• Data is over a decade old, limiting its use for studying current marine conditions.
