Underway Oceanographic Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson April-May 2022

Sensor data collected by the Australian IMOS Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7757 from 14 April to 03 May 2022. The dataset supports oceanographic and environmental monitoring studies, providing time-series observations from a tropical research vessel.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the April-May 2022 voyage
• Correlate underway sensor readings with environmental monitoring tags such as Oceanography and Marine Science
• Process sensor data streams from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility for quality control and calibration studies

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Provides a defined temporal coverage from 14 April 2022 to 03 May 2022 for focused analysis
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, indicating structured data stewardship

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, column names, and data volume (rows/size) are unknown, limiting analytical planning
• Data is available only in WMS, PNG, and HTML formats, which are not standard for quantitative tabular analysis
• The license is unspecified, creating potential uncertainty for redistribution and commercial use
