IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson, June 2020

June 8-23, 2020 data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) program. The data originates from the research vessel RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7422 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyzing tropical marine conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Modeling oceanographic variables along the vessel's route during the specified time period
• Calibrating or validating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ sensor measurements
• Studying temporal patterns in the marine environment during the June 2020 voyage

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Specific temporal coverage from June 8 to June 23, 2020 is documented
• Originates from a dedicated research vessel (RV Cape Ferguson) under a structured facility program

Limitations

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