IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander, September 2015

September 2015 underway sensor data collected by the Australian 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 6251. The dataset is aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor measurements.
• Model oceanographic patterns in Australian tropical waters based on vessel-collected data.
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ sensor readings from research vessels.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage from 13 September 2015 to 30 September 2015.
• Last metadata update recorded on 2026-03-22 12:06:21.293213.

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 trip.
