Underway Marine Data from RV Solander Voyage, August-September 2011

Underway oceanographic data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the research vessel RV Solander during Trip 5358. The voyage occurred from 26 August 2011 to 06 September 2011.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on underway sensor data.
• Modeling temporal changes in marine parameters during the voyage period.
• Calibrating satellite or model data with in-situ measurements from the research vessel.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the voyage (26 Aug 2011 to 06 Sep 2011).
• Data is served via standard geospatial formats (WMS, PNG).

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.
