Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson June 2013

Sensor data collected from the RV Cape Ferguson during a research voyage from June 10 to 24, 2013. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility, specifically from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. It provides time-series observations for oceanographic and environmental monitoring.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the specific voyage period.
• Correlate underway sensor readings with known tropical research vessel routes and environmental conditions.
• Use the data as a case study for sensor performance and data collection methods on research vessels.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a focused 15-day time series from a specific research vessel voyage.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized national data aggregator.

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, column structure, and total data volume are unknown.
• Data is from a single, short-duration voyage in 2013, limiting temporal and spatial scope.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest primary access is via web services, not raw tabular data.
