Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage, November 2016

A 3-day voyage from 24 to 26 November 2016 collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns in oceanographic conditions based on the time-series nature of the data.
• Model marine environmental variables based on sensor readings collected from a research vessel.
• Correlate underway sensor data with other spatial datasets based on the implied geospatial coverage.

Strengths

• Data is part of a national observing system (IMOS), suggesting standardized collection protocols.
• Covers a specific 3-day voyage with a clear start and end date (24-26 Nov 2016).
• Platform metadata indicates a recent update in March 2026.

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.
