IMOS Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7320

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7320. This dataset contains underway sensor observations from a 20-day voyage in February 2020. The Australian Ocean Data Network manages this oceanographic and environmental monitoring data.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the February 2020 voyage.
• Correlate underway measurements with known environmental monitoring tags like Oceanography and Marine Science.
• Use the data from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility for regional marine science studies.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a focused 20-day temporal coverage from 07 to 26 February 2020.
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, column count, and total data volume are unknown.
• Data is limited to a single vessel trip, offering a narrow spatial and temporal snapshot.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) may not be optimal for direct quantitative analysis.
