IMOS Ship Underway Data from RV Solander, September 2014

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander. The data was gathered during a specific voyage from 25 to 28 September 2014. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic time series based on sensor data collected during a vessel transit.
• Model marine environmental conditions based on underway data from a research vessel.
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ measurements from a ship platform.
• Study temporal variability in a specific marine region based on data from a multi-day voyage.

Strengths

• Data is associated with the authoritative IMOS (Integrated Marine Observing System) project.
• Covers a specific, documented time range from 25 to 28 September 2014.
• Hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized data repository.

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.
