IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Cape Ferguson, December 2022

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 7910. The data was gathered over a two-week period from 10 December 2022 to 23 December 2022. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset from the Integrated Marine Observing System.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data collected from a research vessel.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine data based on the two-week continuous observation period.
• Validating satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ measurements from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' facility.

Strengths

• Data originates from the established Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• The collection period is precisely defined as 10-23 December 2022.
• Data is served via the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized national data repository.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last metadata update is listed as 2026-06-17.
