Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Voyage 6894

Australian marine data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The dataset contains sensor measurements from the RV Cape Ferguson during a voyage from 28 March 2018 to 14 April 2018. It is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and is tagged for oceanography, environmental monitoring, and time series analysis.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the March-April 2018 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with known environmental monitoring parameters for the region.
• Study marine conditions from the RV Cape Ferguson's tropical research vessel sensor suite.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a defined temporal coverage from 28 March 2018 to 14 April 2018.
• Managed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Specific data volume, row count, and column structure are unknown.
• Data is from a single vessel voyage, limiting spatial and temporal scope.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be served as visualizations or web services rather than raw tabular data.
