IMOS Underway Ocean Data from RV Solander Voyage, April-May 2011

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected aboard the RV Solander during Trip 5310 from 29 April 2011 to 01 May 2011. The dataset is part of the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It was last updated on 28 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on the underway data collection method.
• Studying temporal changes in marine parameters during the specific voyage period mentioned.
• Integrating sensor data from tropical research vessels into broader marine observing models.
• Validating satellite or model data with in-situ measurements from a known research platform.

Strengths

• Data originates from a defined research voyage (Trip 5310) with a precise temporal range (29 Apr 2011 to 01 May 2011).
• Part of the established Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) infrastructure.
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network, suggesting institutional backing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
