Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander, December 2012

December 2012 sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Solander. The data is part of the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions in tropical waters based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing time-series patterns of marine environmental variables.
• Calibrating or validating remote sensing data with in-situ ship-based measurements.
• Studying sensor performance and data collection methods on research vessels.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage from 11 December 2012 to 23 December 2012.
• Data is associated with a specific research vessel and trip (RV Solander Trip 5671).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip.
