Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Voyage in March 2025

Australian marine sensor data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The dataset originates from the RV Cape Ferguson's Trip 8485, covering a voyage from 04 March 2025 to 18 March 2025. It is part of the broader Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) facility for oceanographic observation.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series data from marine sensors to study oceanographic conditions during the March 2025 voyage.
• Process sensor data from the RV Cape Ferguson to monitor environmental variables in Australian waters.
• Integrate this SOOP sub-facility data with other IMOS datasets for regional marine science research.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a specific temporal coverage from 04 March 2025 to 18 March 2025.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, indicating structured data stewardship.

Limitations

• The specific data columns, row count, and file size are unknown, limiting analytical planning.
• Available only in WMS, PNG, and HTML formats, which may not be optimal for quantitative time-series analysis without conversion.
• The license is unspecified, which may create uncertainty for redistribution or commercial use.
