Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander May-June 2015

Oceanographic sensor data was collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6187. The data collection occurred from 26 May 2015 to 23 Jun 2015. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series of sensor data for oceanographic feature detection during the May-June 2015 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with environmental monitoring tags such as Oceanography and Marine Science.
• Use the temporal coverage from 26 May to 23 Jun 2015 to study seasonal transitions in Australian marine environments.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a defined temporal coverage from 26 May 2015 to 23 Jun 2015.
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• The specific sensor parameters, column structure, and data volume (rows/size) are unknown.
• Data is from a single vessel trip, limiting spatial and temporal generalization.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) may not be optimal for direct quantitative analysis without conversion.
