Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander September 2025 Voyage

Sensor data was collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Solander during a voyage from September 29 to October 1, 2025. The dataset provides time-series observations from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility, managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network. Specific row and column counts are unavailable.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the September-October 2025 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor readings with geographic location data from the RV Solander's track.
• Use the WMS service layer to visualize and integrate marine sensor data with other geospatial datasets.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a precise temporal snapshot from a 3-day research voyage in late September 2025.
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• The dataset's size, row count, and specific column structure are unknown, limiting analytical planning.
• Available only in visualization-focused formats (WMS, PNG, HTML), not a structured tabular format for direct analysis.
• License terms are unspecified, creating uncertainty for downstream use and redistribution.
