IMOS Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Voyage 5914

Sensor data was collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 5914. This dataset provides oceanographic measurements from 21 June 2014 to 05 July 2014.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic research and environmental monitoring.
• Correlate sensor readings with specific vessel location and time stamps from the voyage.
• Use as a reference dataset for calibrating marine sensor models in tropical waters.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a focused temporal snapshot from a specific 15-day research voyage in June-July 2014.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized national data repository.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, sample data, row count, and file size are unknown.
• The primary data format is WMS (Web Map Service), which may require GIS-specific tools for analysis.
• Data is from a single, short-duration voyage, limiting temporal and spatial scope.
