IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander, November 2020

Australian marine data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during a trip from 19 to 24 November 2020. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze underway oceanographic conditions based on sensor data collected from a research vessel.
• Study temporal patterns in marine data based on the specific 6-day voyage period.
• Integrate data from the Ships of Opportunity program into broader marine observing system analyses.

Strengths

• Data originates from the established Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is defined as 19-24 November 2020.
• Dataset is managed 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 data_gov_au.
