IMOS RV Cape Ferguson Underway Sensor Data November 2011

Sensor data collected from the RV Cape Ferguson during a 6-day research trip from 07 to 12 November 2011. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility, specifically the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data from the RV Cape Ferguson for oceanographic research.
• Process underway data from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility to study marine conditions.
• Integrate this trip's sensor data with other IMOS datasets for broader spatiotemporal analysis of Australian waters.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 6-day research voyage from 07 to 12 November 2011.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized data aggregator.

Limitations

• The dataset's size, row count, and specific sensor variables (columns) are unknown.
• Data is temporally limited to a single, short voyage from 2011, over a decade old.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest it may be pre-processed visualizations rather than raw sensor readings.
