Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, September 2021

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by sensors aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during a voyage from 08 to 18 September 2021. The data originates from the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns of marine conditions based on the specified voyage dates
• Validate sensor performance on research vessels based on the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility description
• Study tropical marine phenomena based on the vessel's operational region implied by its name
• Integrate underway data with other IMOS observation streams based on the program's integrated nature

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific research vessel (RV Cape Ferguson) and voyage (Trip 7657).
• The temporal coverage is precisely defined as 08 to 18 September 2021.
• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Available file formats (PNG, HTML, WMS) suggest the primary data may be visualizations or services rather than raw tabular data.
