Underway Marine Data from RV Cape Ferguson, October 2014

October 2014 data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6083. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions along the vessel's route based on underway sensor data.
• Validate or calibrate satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ measurements.
• Study temporal patterns in marine environments during October 2014 based on the trip timeframe.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage from 10 October 2014 to 28 October 2014.
• Hosted by the authoritative 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.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip.
