IMOS Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander April 2024 Voyage

April 1-3, 2024 data was collected by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity program. The dataset contains underway sensor observations from the RV Solander during a specific research trip. It is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the April 2024 RV Solander voyage.
• Correlate underway environmental monitoring data with known tropical marine science research objectives.
• Integrate this specific trip's sensor data with broader IMOS Ships of Opportunity time series for longitudinal studies.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides specific temporal coverage from April 1 to April 3, 2024.
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• The core data structure is unknown, with no column definitions or sample data provided for assessment.
• Available only in non-tabular formats (WMS, PNG, HTML), limiting direct analytical use without conversion.
• Dataset size and record count are unspecified, making scale and scope unclear.
