IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 6550, Aug-Sep 2016

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6550 from 31 August to 14 September 2016. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic variables based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal trends in marine environments based on the specified time-series data collection
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ sensor readings from a research vessel
• Studying specific regional marine conditions during the August-September 2016 voyage period

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Collection period is precisely defined as 31 August to 14 September 2016
• Data originates from a dedicated research vessel (RV Solander) under a structured facility

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
