IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander, December 2021

Integrated Marine Observing System data collected via the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. This dataset captures underway measurements from the RV Solander during a specific voyage from 14 to 16 December 2021. The Australian Ocean Data Network serves as the organizational host for this marine observation record.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions in tropical waters based on the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' program description
• Analyzing short-term temporal variability in marine environments based on the specific three-day voyage timeframe
• Calibrating satellite or model data with in-situ underway measurements based on the 'Ships of Opportunity' facility concept

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Covers a specific, documented time range from 14 December 2021 to 16 December 2021
• Collected via a dedicated sub-facility ('Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels') indicating a standardized collection method

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 and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel's short voyage
