IMOS Underway Marine Data from RV Solander Voyage, November-December 2013

Australian coastal data collected by the 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 5889 from 24 November to 03 December 2013. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyzing underway marine conditions based on sensor data mentioned in the description
• Modeling coastal oceanographic processes based on data from a tropical research vessel
• Calibrating satellite observations with in-situ ship-based measurements
• Studying temporal variability of marine parameters during a specific voyage

Strengths

• Data collected by a dedicated research vessel (RV Solander) under the IMOS program
• Specific temporal coverage from 24 November to 03 December 2013
• Part of a national marine observing system facility (Ships of Opportunity)

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
