Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson May-June 2016

Sensor data was collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6406 from 21 May to 01 June 2016. The data supports oceanographic and environmental monitoring research.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the May-June 2016 voyage
• Integrate this underway data with other IMOS datasets for regional marine studies
• Use the data for calibrating or validating satellite-derived oceanographic measurements

Strengths

• Data collected under the standardized IMOS Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) facility
• Provides a focused 12-day time series from a specific research vessel trip
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network

Limitations

• Specific sensor variables, column count, and data volume are unknown
• Data is from a single, short-duration voyage, limiting temporal scope
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest access may be via visual services rather than raw data tables
