Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage in December 2011

Australian coastal data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The dataset was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 5452 from December 9 to December 22, 2011. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns in ocean conditions based on the time-series sensor data mentioned in the description.
• Model coastal marine environments based on data from a dedicated research vessel.
• Validate satellite-derived oceanographic measurements based on in-situ underway sensor data.
• Study short-term oceanographic phenomena during a specific two-week voyage period.

Strengths

• Data originates from a dedicated national marine observing system (IMOS).
• Collected during a specific, documented research voyage (RV Solander Trip 5452).
• Covers a defined two-week period from December 9 to December 22, 2011.

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.
