Australian Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage, Jan-Feb 2013

Australian coastal data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 5761 from 29 January to 5 February 2013. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine environments based on the specified voyage time range
• Calibrating remote sensing models with in-situ tropical research vessel data

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project, suggesting institutional oversight.
• The specific voyage (Trip 5761) and date range (29 Jan to 05 Feb 2013) are clearly documented.

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/temporal bias inherent to a single vessel voyage.
