IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander, Feb-Mar 2014

IMOS 'Ships of Opportunity' data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 5936. The data covers a voyage from 20 February 2014 to 03 March 2014. The dataset is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 18 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description.
• Study temporal patterns of oceanographic variables during a specific research voyage.
• Validate or calibrate other marine observation datasets using data from a dedicated research vessel.
• Map the spatial track and associated sensor readings from the RV Solander's journey.

Strengths

• Data originates from a dedicated IMOS research vessel facility, suggesting a controlled collection environment.
• The specific time range (20 Feb 2014 to 03 Mar 2014) and vessel (RV Solander Trip 5936) 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's voyage.
