IMOS Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, June 2025

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 8537. The data was collected from 01 June 2025 to 06 June 2025 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions in tropical waters based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine variables during a specific research voyage.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ measurements from a research vessel.
• Studying short-term marine phenomena captured during a 6-day observation period.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Covers a specific 6-day voyage from 01 June 2025 to 06 June 2025.
• 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 is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel's voyage.
