IMOS Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson September 2017

September 18-20, 2017 data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The dataset contains sensor readings from the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6780, managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the September 2017 voyage.
• Correlate underway measurements with known environmental monitoring tags like Oceanography and Marine Science.
• Process sensor data streams from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility for quality assessment.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 3-day period from September 18 to 20, 2017, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, column names, and data volume (rows/size) are unknown.
• Data is temporally limited to a single 3-day voyage in 2017, restricting longitudinal analysis.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest derived or visual products, not the primary tabular sensor data.
