IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Solander, Sep 2013

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during a trip from 28 to 30 September 2013. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System project and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model short-term oceanographic phenomena based on data from a specific research vessel trip
• Integrate sensor data with other IMOS observations for broader marine studies

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Trip dates are precisely defined as 28 to 30 September 2013
• Platform metadata shows a recent update timestamp of 2026-03-22

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/temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip
