Underway Oceanographic Sensor Data from RV Solander July 2015

July 2015 data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Solander Trip 6230. The dataset contains sensor-based time series observations for oceanography and environmental monitoring, contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic feature detection during the July 2015 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with known environmental monitoring parameters for the region.
• Process marine science time series data from the RV Solander to study short-term oceanic variability.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a focused 8-day temporal coverage from 15 July 2015 to 22 July 2015.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized organization in marine data.

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, column names, and data volume (rows/size) are unknown.
• Data is temporally limited to a single 8-day research trip in July 2015.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest primarily visual or web-service access, not raw tabular data.
