Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson, Sep-Oct 2025

Australian coastal data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 8614 from 25 September 2025 to 05 October 2025. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine environments during a specific research voyage.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ measurements from a research vessel.

Strengths

• Data is associated with the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the research voyage (25 Sep 2025 to 05 Oct 2025).
• Data was last updated on 2026-03-22, suggesting recent metadata maintenance.

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 trip.
