Underway Marine Data from RV Solander Voyage, March 2014

From 23 to 29 March 2014, the Australian Ocean Data Network collected this marine dataset via the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The data originates from the RV Solander as part of the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity program. It was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along a ship's track based on the underway data collection method.
• Modeling temporal changes in marine environments based on the specific voyage time frame.
• Calibrating satellite or model data with in-situ observations from a research vessel.
• Studying the operational framework of the Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) observing system.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific research vessel (RV Solander) and voyage (20140324).
• Collection is part of the established national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• The dataset has a precise temporal coverage from 23 to 29 March 2014.

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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
