RV Solander Marine Sensor Data from May 2017

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during a trip from 26 to 28 May 2017. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System project. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 18 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal oceanographic patterns based on the specific three-day collection period mentioned.
• Model sensor performance for tropical research vessels based on the data collection method described.
• Integrate with other IMOS data streams for broader marine ecosystem studies based on the project affiliation.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Collection period is precisely defined as 26-28 May 2017.
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

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 trip.
