Underway Oceanographic Sensor Data from RV Solander September 2021 Voyage

Sensor data collected during the RV Solander's voyage from 23 to 30 September 2021 as part of the IMOS Ships of Opportunity program. The dataset supports marine environmental monitoring and time-series analysis for the Australian region. It is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic conditions during the September 2021 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with environmental monitoring tags like Oceanography and Marine Science.
• Map the spatial coverage of the voyage using the provided WMS service for geographic analysis.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a focused 7-day temporal coverage from a specific research vessel voyage.
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Unknown data volume, row count, and column structure limit analytical planning.
• Data is provided in non-tabular formats (WMS, PNG, HTML), requiring specialized tools for access and analysis.
• The license is unspecified, creating potential uncertainty for downstream use.
