IMOS Ship Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7441

Sensor data was collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The dataset originates from the RV Cape Ferguson's Trip 7441, which occurred from June 28 to July 3, 2020. It is part of the broader Ships of Opportunity program for marine observation.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data from the research vessel to study oceanographic conditions during the specific voyage.
• Process sensor data to validate or calibrate marine observation models for the Australian region.
• Integrate this vessel trip data with other IMOS datasets for a broader temporal or spatial analysis of marine phenomena.

Strengths

• Data is collected under the standardized IMOS Ships of Opportunity framework, ensuring consistent collection protocols.
• The dataset has a precisely defined temporal coverage from June 28 to July 3, 2020.
• It is associated with the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized authority for marine data.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, sample data, row count, and file size are unknown, limiting immediate analytical utility.
• The primary available formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) are for visualization and metadata, not raw tabular data analysis.
• The data is from a single, short-duration vessel trip, limiting spatial and temporal scope.
