Australian Marine Underway Data from RV Solander, November 2016

Australian coastal data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during a voyage from 05 to 07 November 2016. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal environmental changes based on the specific voyage date range
• Validating satellite-derived sea surface data based on in-situ measurements from a research vessel

Strengths

• Data originates from a national observing system (IMOS), suggesting institutional oversight.
• Specific voyage and date range (05-07 Nov 2016) provides clear temporal context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
