Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, February 2013

From 04 Feb 2013 to 10 Feb 2013, the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) collected this data via the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. The dataset is part of the broader 'Ships of Opportunity' (SOOP) facility and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Calibrating satellite or model data with in-situ measurements from a research vessel.
• Studying temporal patterns in marine environments during a specific voyage.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific research vessel (RV Cape Ferguson) and voyage (Trip 5695).
• Temporal coverage is precisely defined from 04 Feb 2013 to 10 Feb 2013.
• Part of the structured Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.

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.
