Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage 5309 in April 2011

April 24-27, 2011 data was collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The dataset contains sensor readings from the RV Solander trip 5309, 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 April 2011 voyage.
• Integrate PNG map layers with other geospatial marine datasets for regional studies.
• Use WMS services for real-time visualization of the voyage's sensor data streams.
• Correlate sensor readings from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility with other IMOS data sources.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 4-day voyage (April 24-27, 2011) providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Managed and published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized data aggregator.

Limitations

• The dataset's size, row count, and specific column structure are unknown, hindering direct analytical planning.
• Available only in visualization formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) rather than raw tabular data, limiting computational analysis.
• Data is from a single, short voyage in 2011, limiting temporal and spatial generalizability.
