IMOS SOOP Underway Ocean Data from RV Solander Trip 5463, May 2012

May 2012 underway 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 RV Solander during Trip 5463 from 04 May to 30 May 2012. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine environments based on the specified trip dates
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ measurements from research vessels

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Temporal coverage is precisely defined as 04 May 2012 to 30 May 2012.
• Dataset is hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

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.
