Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, August 2022

Australian coastal sensor data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the RV Cape Ferguson's Trip 7935, conducted from 05 to 06 August 2022. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal water quality dynamics based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing short-term temporal variability in marine parameters based on time-series data.
• Calibrating satellite-derived oceanographic data based on in-situ sensor readings.
• Studying vessel-based observation methodologies for marine science.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for a two-day voyage in August 2022.
• 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 and temporal bias inherent to a single, short vessel trip.
