IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, Oct 2011

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during a voyage from 13 to 28 October 2011. The data is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Model coastal marine environments based on data from a dedicated research vessel
• Study temporal changes in a specific region based on the two-week voyage time frame
• Integrate sensor data with other marine observing datasets based on the IMOS project framework

Strengths

• Data collected under the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) framework
• Specific temporal coverage from 13 to 28 October 2011
• Collected from a dedicated tropical research vessel, the RV Cape Ferguson

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 and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel's two-week voyage
