RV Solander Underway Oceanographic Sensor Data from September 2016

Sensor data was collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6552 from 16 to 25 September 2016. The dataset is part of the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility, providing time-series observations for oceanographic monitoring.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the RV Solander's voyage in September 2016
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with environmental monitoring tags like Oceanography and Marine Science
• Process and visualize sensor data formats (WMS, PNG) for spatial and temporal analysis of the voyage

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network and the national IMOS project
• Provides a defined 10-day temporal coverage from 16 to 25 September 2016
• Tagged with specific, relevant domains including Oceanography, Environmental monitoring, and Marine Science

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and specific sensor columns are unknown, limiting analytical planning
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) are primarily for visualization, not raw tabular analysis
• Data is from a single 2016 voyage, offering limited temporal scope for long-term trend analysis
