IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Solander, January 2016

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6393. The data was gathered from 18 January 2016 to 29 January 2016 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on 28 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on underway sensor data.
• Studying temporal variability of marine parameters during the January 2016 voyage.
• Validating regional ocean models with in-situ observational data from the RV Solander.
• Investigating spatial patterns in the tropical research area covered by the trip.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a specific temporal snapshot from 18 to 29 January 2016.
• Collected via a dedicated research vessel (RV Solander) under a standardized facility protocol.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and variable list require manual inspection.
