IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Solander, June 2013

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected aboard the RV Solander during a research voyage from 16 to 30 June 2013. This dataset is part of the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility within the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System. The data is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on underway sensor data.
• Modeling temporal changes in marine parameters during the two-week voyage.
• Validating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ measurements from the research vessel.
• Studying spatial patterns in the tropical research area covered by the RV Solander.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Provides a specific two-week temporal snapshot from 16 to III0 June 2013.
• Hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized data aggregation body.

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.
