IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander, December 2013

December 2013 underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander. The data is part of the broader 'Ships of Opportunity' (SOOP) facility and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Studying temporal patterns in oceanographic data from a specific research voyage.
• Validating sensor performance on tropical research vessels.

Strengths

• Data originates from the established Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage from 20 to 31 December 2013 is documented.
• Data is associated with a specific research vessel and voyage (RV Solander Trip 20131221).

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's voyage.
