IMOS Underway Marine Data from RV Cape Ferguson, March 2019

Underway marine data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7111 from March 8 to March 21, 2019. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Modeling marine environmental variables for a specific time and vessel route
• Validating satellite or model data with in-situ observations from a research vessel

Strengths

• Data collected by a national marine observing system (IMOS) over a defined 14-day period
• Specific vessel (RV Cape Ferguson) and trip number (7111) are documented

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 trip
