IMOS Underway Marine Data from RV Solander, May 2017

May 16-19, 2017 data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6690. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyzing underway marine sensor readings based on the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility description
• Studying temporal patterns in tropical ocean conditions based on the specific 4-day voyage timeframe
• Integrating ship-collected data with other IMOS observing systems based on the project's integrated nature

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• The temporal coverage is precisely defined as May 16-19, 2017.
• The collection vessel (RV Solander) and trip number (6690) are explicitly identified.

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 4-day voyage.
