Underway Marine Data from RV Solander Voyage, November 2013

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the RV Solander's Trip 5888, which occurred from 03 November 2013 to 20 November 2013. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which was last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Model marine environmental variables along the vessel's track
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ observations from the research voyage

Strengths

• Data originates from a national marine observing system (IMOS), suggesting institutional oversight
• Specific temporal coverage is provided (03 Nov 2013 to 20 Nov 2013)

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
