Underway Marine Data from RV Cape Ferguson, November 2015

From 04 to 06 November 2015, the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) collected this data via its 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. The data is part of the broader 'Ships of Opportunity' (SOOP) facility and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset includes WMS, PNG, and HTML file formats.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions based on underway vessel sensor data mentioned in the description
• Mapping marine environmental variables based on the geospatial nature implied by the WMS format
• Studying short-term temporal changes in a specific marine region based on the precise 3-day collection period

Strengths

• Data collected under the national IMOS program, suggesting standardized collection protocols
• Precise temporal coverage from 04 to 06 November 2015
• Includes multiple access formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) for different analysis needs

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
