Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage, June-July 2011

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 5355. The data was gathered from 29 June 2011 to 20 July 2011 and is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network. File formats include WMS, PNG, and HTML.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic time series based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing spatial-temporal marine patterns based on geospatial data formats (WMS).
• Creating visual summaries of voyage data based on available PNG format outputs.
• Calibrating regional ocean models based on in-situ sensor data from a research vessel.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Provides a specific temporal snapshot from a 22-day research voyage in 2011.
• Managed and published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a national data aggregator.

Limitations

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