IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, June 2022

Australian marine sensor data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered from the RV Cape Ferguson during a research trip from 14 June 2022 to 29 June 2022. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic time-series trends based on underway sensor data.
• Model environmental conditions in tropical marine regions based on vessel-collected data.
• Validate satellite or model data against in-situ sensor observations from a research vessel.

Strengths

• Data is associated with the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Temporal coverage is precisely defined as 14 June 2022 to 29 June 2022.
• Data is served via multiple formats including WMS and PNG for visualization.

Limitations

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