Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Voyage 6163

March 18 to April 2, 2015, this dataset contains underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. It was gathered aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during voyage 6163, focusing on tropical marine research. The data supports oceanographic and environmental monitoring studies.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series of sensor measurements for oceanographic parameter trends during the voyage
• Correlate underway sensor data with known voyage dates and location tags for environmental monitoring
• Integrate this sensor data with other IMOS datasets using the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility identifier
• Study marine conditions in the specified temporal window for climate or ecological research

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Provides a defined temporal coverage from March 18 to April 2, 2015
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network organization
• Tagged with specific, relevant domains including Oceanography and Marine Science

Limitations

• No column names or sample data are available to assess the specific variables measured
• The file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be served as visualizations or web services rather than raw tabular data
• The dataset size and row count are unknown, limiting assessment of analytical scope
