IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson, Feb 2015

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6162. The dataset covers a voyage from 15 February 2015 to 24 February 2015. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this data from the Integrated Marine Observing System project.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal oceanographic conditions based on the specific voyage date range mentioned.
• Model spatial patterns of marine variables based on the 'underway' data collection method.
• Calibrate remote sensing data with in-situ measurements based on the sensor platform description.
• Study Australian tropical marine environments based on the vessel's operational region implied by its name.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from a national observing system (IMOS), suggesting institutional oversight.
• The temporal coverage is precisely defined as 15-24 February 2015.
• The collection platform is explicitly named as the RV Cape Ferguson, Trip 6162.

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's short voyage.
