Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7213

Sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during a specific voyage. The dataset covers a two-week period from 24 August 2019 to 07 September 2019. It was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data from the RV Cape Ferguson to study oceanographic conditions during the voyage period.
• Process underway sensor data to identify patterns in marine environmental variables recorded by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility.
• Integrate this SOOP data with other IMOS datasets for a broader analysis of Australian marine regions in late August and early September 2019.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a focused temporal snapshot from a specific 15-day voyage (24 Aug 2019 to 07 Sep 2019).
• Managed and published by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, sample data, and dataset size are unknown, limiting immediate analytical utility.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the data may be primarily served for visualization, not as a raw tabular download.
• The license is listed as 'notspecified', which creates uncertainty for redistribution and commercial use.
