Underway Marine Data from RV Solander Voyage, November 2015

A November 2015 voyage dataset collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity program. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the research vessel RV Solander during Trip 6342. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal trends in marine parameters from a fixed research vessel platform
• Calibrating satellite or model data with in-situ observations from a tropical research vessel

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project, suggesting a standardized collection framework.
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the voyage (03 Nov 2015 to 17 Nov 2015).

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 voyage.
