IMOS Underway Oceanographic Data from RV Solander Trip 5129

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 5129 from November 29 to December 15, 2010. The dataset supports oceanographic and environmental monitoring research.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the specified 17-day voyage
• Integrate WMS service layers with other marine spatial data for environmental monitoring studies
• Process PNG visualizations of underway data to support marine science research in Australian waters

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Provides a focused 17-day time series from a specific research vessel trip (Trip 5129)
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized national data aggregator

Limitations

• Specific data columns, row counts, and file sizes are unknown, limiting immediate analytical assessment
• Primary data formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) are for visualization and web services, not raw tabular analysis
• The license is listed as 'notspecified', which may create uncertainty for redistribution or commercial use
