IMOS SOOP Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, July 2024

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by sensors aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during a specific voyage from 04 to 11 July 2024. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this dataset via the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model temporal changes in ocean parameters during a specific research voyage
• Validate satellite-derived oceanographic data with in-situ sensor measurements
• Study tropical research vessel operational patterns and data collection methods

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Covers a specific, documented voyage from 04 to 11 July 2024
• Published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized data aggregator

Limitations

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