Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, January 2011

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 5150 from 02 Jan 2011 to 10 Jan 2011. The dataset is part of the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility within the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-03-22.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing time-series patterns in tropical marine environments based on the specified trip dates
• Calibrating remote sensing models with in-situ vessel-based sensor data
• Studying short-term environmental variability in Australian waters based on the geographic focus

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the 9-day trip from 02 Jan 2011 to 10 Jan 2011
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network

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/temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip
