IMOS SOOP Underway Marine Data from RV Cape Ferguson, May-June 2024

Integrated Marine Observing System data collected via the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson. This dataset captures continuous 'underway' measurements from a specific voyage (Trip 8288) between 26 May 2024 and 13 Jun 2024. The data is managed and distributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on continuous underway sensor data.
• Analyzing temporal trends in marine parameters over a specific voyage track.
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ measurements from research vessels.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Covers a specific, recent time period from 26 May 2024 to 13 Jun 2024.
• Collected via a dedicated 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' facility.

Limitations

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