A September 2014 voyage collected this underway marine data from the RV Cape Ferguson, Trip 6069. The data originates from the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility, specifically the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on underway data mentioned in the description
• Studying temporal environmental changes during a specific voyage period based on the time range
• Modeling coastal or tropical marine processes based on data from the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels program
• Integrating vessel-based observations with other marine datasets based on the IMOS project affiliation

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific, documented research voyage (Trip 6069) from 13 to 27 September 2014
• Collected under a structured national observing system (Integrated Marine Observing System)
• Hosted by an authoritative national data network (Australian Ocean Data Network)

Limitations

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