Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 6687, May 2017

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6687 from 08 May 2017 to 17 May 2017. The dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. It was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal oceanographic patterns based on the described time-series sensor data.
• Model environmental conditions in tropical marine regions based on the described 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' facility.
• Calibrate remote sensing models with in-situ underway data mentioned in the description.
• Study vessel-based observation methodologies based on the 'Ships of Opportunity' program description.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 10-day voyage from 08 to 17 May 2017, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

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/source bias inherent to data_gov_au.
