IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander, Feb-Apr 2020

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by sensors aboard the Australian research vessel RV Solander during a voyage from February to April 2020. The data is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's facility for gathering oceanographic measurements from research vessels. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic time series based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing spatial-temporal patterns in Australian coastal waters based on the geospatial nature of the data.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ marine observations.
• Training anomaly detection models for marine sensor data streams.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Covers a specific voyage time range from 23 February 2020 to 28 April 2020.
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the single RV Solander voyage.
