IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson, May 2019

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7160. The data was gathered from 17 May 2019 to 25 May 2019 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on 28 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling tropical marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing time-series patterns of oceanographic variables from a research vessel.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ measurements from the specified voyage.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• The temporal coverage is precisely defined from 17 May 2019 to 25 May 2019.
• Data is served via standard geospatial formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) for interoperability.

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.
