IMOS SOOP: Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 6632, Jan 2017

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6632. The data collection period was from 15 January 2017 to 26 January 2017. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 18 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Study temporal patterns in marine environments based on the specified 12-day collection period
• Validate sensor data collection protocols for tropical research vessels based on the SOOP facility framework

Strengths

• Data collection period is precisely defined as 15-26 January 2017
• Dataset originates from the established IMOS Ships of Opportunity facility and the RV Solander research vessel
• Dataset metadata includes a specific last updated timestamp of 2026-04-18

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 data_gov_au
