IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson, June 2017

June 9-12, 2017 data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. This 'Ships of Opportunity' dataset is part of the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze underway oceanographic conditions based on sensor data collected from a research vessel.
• Study temporal patterns in marine environments based on the multi-day observation period.
• Integrate ship-based observations with other marine data sources based on the IMOS project framework.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage from June 9 to 12, 2017 is documented.
• Data is hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

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 bias inherent to a single vessel trip.
