IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander, Oct 2022

Underway marine sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The data originates from the RV Solander's Trip 20221015, covering a voyage from 15 to 17 October 2022. The dataset is aggregated and served by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine data collected during a specific research voyage.
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ observations from a research vessel.
• Studying short-term marine phenomena in a defined geographic area and time period.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage is defined as 15-17 October 2022.
• Data is served by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
