Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage 6648

A dataset of underway sensor observations collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered during the RV Solander's Trip 6648 from 12 to 17 December 2016. It provides time-series environmental monitoring data for marine science research.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the 5-day voyage.
• Correlate underway environmental measurements with known voyage dates and vessel location.
• Use sensor data for calibrating or validating marine monitoring models for the specified time period.

Strengths

• Data collected under the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) framework.
• Provides a 5-day continuous time series from a dedicated research vessel voyage.
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Specific sensor variables, column names, and data volume (rows/size) are unknown.
• Data is from a single, short voyage in December 2016, limiting temporal and spatial scope.
• Primary file formats (HTML, PNG, WMS) suggest the dataset may be view-focused rather than raw tabular data.
