IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, Jan-Feb 2018

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The data originates from the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 6888, covering a voyage from 14 January to 03 February 2018. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor measurements.
• Track vessel path and correlate location with sensor readings.
• Model time-series trends in oceanographic variables for the specified voyage period.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific voyage and date range (14 Jan 2018 to 03 Feb 2018) are clearly defined.
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel voyage.
