Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander, Feb-Mar 2016

A 2016 data collection from the RV Solander's voyage between 28 February and 15 March. It was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ships of Opportunity program. The data is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along a vessel's track based on underway sensor data.
• Modeling temporal patterns in marine environments based on time-series collection.
• Calibrating remote sensing or other observational models with in-situ sensor data.
• Studying specific regional marine phenomena during the February-March 2016 period.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Collection period is precisely defined from 28 February 2016 to 15 March 2016.
• Data originates from a dedicated research vessel (RV Solander) under a structured program.

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.
