IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 6322, Oct 2015

Underway sensor data was 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 6322 from 23 to 30 October 2015. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 18 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Study temporal patterns of oceanographic variables during a specific research voyage
• Validate sensor performance and data collection protocols for research vessels
• Integrate point-source vessel data with broader regional ocean observation networks

Strengths

• Data is associated with the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• The specific research vessel (RV Cape Ferguson), trip number (6322), and exact collection dates (23-30 Oct 2015) are documented.
• Data was last updated on 2026-04-18, suggesting ongoing metadata management.

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.
