IMOS Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander April-May 2023

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 20230428 from 28 April to 08 May 2023. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and includes oceanographic sensor data and time series.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the RV Solander's voyage
• Map underway sensor measurements against the specific trip dates (28 Apr - 08 May 2023) for spatial analysis
• Integrate this sensor data with other IMOS datasets using the 'Ships of Opportunity' facility context

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Provides a defined temporal coverage from 28 April to 08 May 2023 for focused analysis
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized national data aggregator

Limitations

• Specific sensor parameters, column names, and data volume (rows/size) are unknown
• Data is limited to a single 11-day voyage, offering a narrow temporal snapshot
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest a focus on visualizations rather than raw tabular data
