Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander, September 2019

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during a voyage from 12 to 22 September 2019. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The data was last updated on 11 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Calibrating oceanographic sensor models based on underway data collection.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine conditions during a specific research voyage.
• Integrating point-source vessel data with broader regional ocean observation networks.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is defined as 12-22 September 2019.
• Data source is a dedicated research vessel, the RV Solander.

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.
