IMOS RV Solander Underway Sensor Data from Trip 5131, Dec 2010-Jan 2011

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected aboard the RV Solander during Trip 5131 from 31 December 2010 to 17 January 2011. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 17 June 2026. It originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility of the Integrated Marine Observing System.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine data from a specific research vessel voyage.
• Validating satellite-derived ocean data against in-situ observations from the RV Solander.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific research vessel (RV Solander) and voyage (Trip 5131), providing clear provenance.
• Covers a defined time period from 31 December 2010 to 17 January 2011.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the single vessel trip.
