IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6381 from 05 Feb 2016 to 13 Feb 2016. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on the platform on 2026-03-22.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal marine data patterns for a specific research voyage
• Integrating sensor data from tropical research vessels into larger marine observation systems

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the voyage (05-13 Feb 2016).
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single research vessel trip.
