IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander, August 2025

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected aboard the RV Solander from 19 to 21 August 2025. The Australian Ocean Data Network manages this dataset, which was last updated in April 2026. Underway observations likely include oceanographic parameters measured during the vessel's transit.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model short-term marine variability based on the three-day observation period
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ measurements from a research vessel

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Specific temporal coverage from 19 to 21 August 2025 is provided
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network

Limitations
