IMOS Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander, April-May 2014

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by sensors aboard the tropical research vessel RV Solander during a voyage from April 7 to May 1, 2014. This dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System and is served by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The data was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on the underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model temporal changes in marine parameters during the April-May 2014 period
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ measurements from the research vessel
• Study tropical marine ecosystems using the sensor observations from the RV Solander

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Covers a specific temporal window from April 7 to May 1, 2014
• Managed and served by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a national data aggregator

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 and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel voyage
