IMOS Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage in December 2016

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The data was gathered aboard the RV Solander during a voyage from 17 to 22 December 2016. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this dataset, which was last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Calibrating marine sensor models based on data from a dedicated research vessel
• Studying temporal patterns in tropical waters based on the specific voyage time frame
• Integrating ship-collected data with other IMOS observing platforms based on the program context

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) program
• Specific voyage and time range (17-22 December 2016) are clearly documented
• Last update timestamp (2026-03-22 14:20:10.302326) is provided

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count and data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
