Australian coastal data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the RV Solander's Trip 5133, which operated from 17 January 2011 to 03 February 2011. The Australian Ocean Data Network serves as the aggregating organization for this dataset.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model coastal water properties for the specified time period and region
• Validate satellite or model data against in-situ observations from a research vessel

Strengths

• Data originates from a dedicated national marine observing system (IMOS)
• Collection period is precisely defined as 17 Jan 2011 to 03 Feb 2011
