IMOS Ship Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7534

Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7534. The dataset covers a voyage from 16 March 2021 to 06 April 2021. It is part of the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility and is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze vessel tracking data from the RV Cape Ferguson to study ship movement patterns during the specified voyage.
• Process time series sensor data for oceanographic research on tropical marine environments.
• Integrate this dataset with other IMOS SOOP data using the trip identifier (Trip 7534) for broader spatial-temporal analysis.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a specific temporal coverage from 16 March 2021 to 06 April 2021.
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• No column definitions, row counts, or sample data are provided, limiting immediate analytical utility.
• The specific sensor measurements and data formats (beyond WMS, PNG, HTML) are not described.
• The license is listed as 'notspecified', which may create uncertainty for reuse.
