IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 7817, May-June 2022

From 26 May 2022 to 11 June 2022, underway sensor data was collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered aboard the research vessel RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7817, under the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Model oceanographic processes in tropical regions based on data from a dedicated research vessel
• Validate satellite or model data against in-situ observations collected from a ship of opportunity

Strengths

• Data collected over a defined 17-day voyage from 26 May to 11 June 2022
• Part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Gathered via a dedicated sub-facility for sensors on tropical research vessels

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 and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip
