Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson May-June 2017

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by sensors aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6664 from 27 May 2017 to 06 Jun 2017. The dataset is part of the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility, providing oceanographic and environmental monitoring information. It is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic time series data from the RV Cape Ferguson's sensor suite for environmental monitoring.
• Map marine science observations from the specified time range and vessel trip to study regional conditions.
• Integrate sensor data tagged with Oceanography and Time Series labels into broader marine research models.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a specific 11-day temporal coverage from 27 May 2017 to 06 Jun 2017 for focused analysis.
• Managed and distributed by the recognized Australian Ocean Data Network organization.

Limitations

• No column names, sample data, row count, or file size information is available for assessing structure and scale.
• Primary data formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) are geared for visualization and web services, not direct tabular analysis.
• The 'notspecified' license status creates uncertainty for commercial or redistribution use cases.
