IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7816, May 2022

Australian marine data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Ships of Opportunity' facility. The data originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7816 from 12 May 2022 to 24 May 2022. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 18 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on the 'underway' data collection method.
• Study temporal patterns in marine environments based on the specific 13-day time range.
• Integrate data with other IMOS observations for regional marine modeling.
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data using in-situ measurements from the research vessel.

Strengths

• Data is associated with the established IMOS national research infrastructure.
• Specific temporal coverage is defined as 12-24 May 2022.
• Data is hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip.
