Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Trip 8539

From 27 Jun 2025 to 10 Jul 2025, sensors aboard the RV Cape Ferguson collected marine data as part of the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity program. The data was managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 16 Jun 2026. It represents observations from a tropical research vessel voyage.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of marine variables during a specific research voyage.
• Calibrating satellite observations with in-situ sensor measurements from ships.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific two-week voyage from 27 Jun 2025 to 10 Jul 2025.
• Data originates from the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), a national scientific infrastructure.
• Metadata indicates the data was last updated on 16 Jun 2026.

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 trip.
