Underway Sensor Data from RV Cape Ferguson Australian Marine Voyage

Australian marine sensor data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Cape Ferguson during Trip 8732. The dataset covers the period from 07 March 2026 to 30 March 2026, providing time series observations for oceanographic and environmental monitoring.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the March 2026 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with geographic location data for spatial environmental analysis.
• Process PNG and HTML files containing sensor readings and metadata from the tropical research vessel.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 24-day time range from 07 to 30 March 2026 for focused temporal analysis.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized organization for marine data.

Limitations

• No column definitions or sample data are available to assess the specific sensor variables.
• The dataset consists of PNG and HTML files, which may require specialized parsing for quantitative analysis.
• The license is unspecified, which may create uncertainty for downstream use and redistribution.
