Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander March 2017 Voyage

Sensor data collected during the RV Solander Trip 6682 from March 15 to 22, 2017, as part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The dataset supports oceanographic and climate monitoring research, captured by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the March 2017 voyage.
• Integrate this sensor data with other IMOS datasets for climate monitoring studies.
• Use the voyage-specific data to calibrate or validate marine sensor models.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a specific 8-day temporal coverage from March 15 to 22, 2017.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized data custodian.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, sample data, row count, and file size are unknown.
• Data is limited to a single 8-day voyage, offering a narrow temporal snapshot.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be visual or service-based, not raw tabular data.
