Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, June 2016

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6408. The data was gathered from 23 June 2016 to 28 June 2016 and is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset includes PNG, HTML, and WMS file formats.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns in marine conditions based on the time-series nature of the underway data.
• Map sensor readings along the vessel's route based on the geospatial tags.
• Model physical oceanographic parameters based on the 'Underway Data' and 'Marine Sensors' tags.
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data using in-situ measurements from research vessels.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the trip from 23 June 2016 to 28 June 2016.
• Metadata was last updated on 2026-04-18 18:40:58.686464.

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/source bias inherent to a single research vessel trip.
