IMOS RV Cape Ferguson Underway Sensor Data June 2014

June 5-20, 2014 sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. The dataset contains underway marine observations from a tropical research vessel, contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data from the RV Cape Ferguson to study oceanographic conditions during the June 2014 voyage.
• Process underway data from the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility for marine science research.
• Integrate this SOOP dataset with other IMOS observations for regional oceanographic modeling.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a specific 15-day temporal coverage from June 5 to June 20, 2014.
• Focuses on a dedicated tropical research vessel, the RV Cape Ferguson.

Limitations

• Core structural metadata like column names, row count, and file size are unavailable.
• Primary data formats are WMS, PNG, and HTML, which may not be standard for quantitative analysis without conversion.
• The license is unspecified, which could create uncertainty for downstream use.
