IMOS Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7162

Sensor data collected from the RV Cape Ferguson during a 6-day research voyage in June 2019. This dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity program, specifically the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The data supports oceanographic and environmental monitoring studies.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic parameter trends during the June 2019 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with other IMOS datasets using the vessel and trip identifiers.
• Map the spatial path of RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7162 for marine research vessel track analysis.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 6-day time range from 09 June 2019 to 14 June 2019.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized marine data organization.

Limitations

• The specific sensor parameters, column structure, and data volume (rows, size) are unknown.
• Data is from a single, short-duration voyage, limiting temporal and spatial scope.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be served as visualizations rather than raw tabular data.
