Australian Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Voyage, Feb-Mar 2019

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the RV Cape Ferguson's Trip 7110, which took place from 13 February 2019 to 06 March 2019. The dataset is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic time series based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing spatial-temporal patterns in marine environments based on the voyage track.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ observations from research vessels.
• Studying specific regional phenomena during the February-March 2019 time period.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the voyage (13 Feb 2019 to 06 Mar 2019).
• Dataset was last updated on 2026-03-22, indicating recent metadata maintenance.

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 and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel voyage.
