IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson, September 2021

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by sensors aboard the tropical research vessel RV Cape Ferguson during a voyage from September 8 to 18, 2021. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's facility for collecting underway data from research vessels. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions in tropical waters based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing temporal environmental changes during a research voyage based on the specified time range.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ sensor readings collected from a research vessel.
• Studying Australian coastal marine systems based on data from the Integrated Marine Observing System.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Covers a specific 11-day voyage from September 8 to 18, 2021, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Collected via the dedicated 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility, suggesting specialized instrumentation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel's voyage.
