IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, May 2015

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The data originates from the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6167 from 14 May 2015 to 24 May 2015. It is aggregated and distributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyzing marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor measurements.
• Calibrating oceanographic models with in-situ data from a research vessel.
• Studying temporal patterns in tropical waters during a specific voyage period.

Strengths

• Data collection is associated with the national IMOS project, suggesting standardized procedures.
• The specific vessel (RV Cape Ferguson), trip number (6167), and date range (14-24 May 2015) are explicitly documented.

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.
