IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson Trip 8156 from 30 Oct 2023 to 13 Nov 2023. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System project and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Track vessel movement and operational patterns during a specific research trip.
• Study temporal changes in oceanographic parameters over a two-week period.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific research vessel and trip number (RV Cape Ferguson Trip 8156).
• Has a defined collection period from 30 Oct 2023 to 13 Nov 2023.
• Part of a national marine observing system (IMOS).

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 or temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip.
