IMOS Underway Ocean Data from RV Solander Voyage in September 2016

A dataset from the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. It was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6552. The voyage occurred from 16 September 2016 to 25 September 2016.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal trends in marine variables for the specified 10-day voyage
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ measurements from the research vessel
• Studying the spatial distribution of parameters along the vessel's track

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Collection period is precisely defined as 16 to 25 September 2016
• Data is served via standardized web services (WMS) for interoperability

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
