IMOS SOOP Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, December 2012

IMOS Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 5647. The data was gathered from 11 December 2012 to 20 December 2012 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset is available in WMS, PNG, and HTML formats.

Use Cases

• Analyzing underway marine conditions based on sensor data from a research vessel.
• Mapping oceanographic parameters for a specific time period based on the geospatial nature of the data.
• Integrating sensor observations from a 'Ships of Opportunity' program into larger marine models.
• Studying data collection methods from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• The temporal coverage is precisely defined as 11 to 20 December 2012.
• Data is served via the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized national data aggregator.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection.
