IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 6675, Feb-Mar 2017

From 22 February 2017 to 09 March 2017, the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) collected underway data via its Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the research vessel RV Solander during Trip 6675. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model oceanographic processes in tropical regions based on data from a dedicated research vessel
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ measurements collected from a ship
• Study temporal changes in marine parameters during a specific voyage period

Strengths

• Data collected by a dedicated national marine observing system (IMOS)
• Specific temporal coverage from 22 Feb 2017 to 09 Mar 2017
• Gathered from a research vessel (RV Solander) equipped with sensors

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 a single vessel trip
