IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7113, Mar-Apr 2019

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7113. The collection period was from 22 March 2019 to 05 April 2019.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model marine environmental variables for the specified voyage period and location
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ sensor measurements from the voyage
• Study short-term marine phenomena in Australian tropical waters during March-April 2019

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Collection period is precisely defined as 22 March 2019 to 05 April 2019
• Data originates from a dedicated research vessel (RV Cape Ferguson) under a structured facility

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
