Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage, January-February 2018

January 19 to February 3, 2018 data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The dataset was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 6826. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling sea surface temperature and salinity dynamics based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing time-series trends in marine environmental variables for the specified voyage period.
• Calibrating satellite-derived oceanographic measurements with in-situ sensor readings.
• Studying tropical marine conditions along the RV Solander's voyage track.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Provides a specific temporal coverage from January 19 to February 3, 2018.
• Hosted and maintained by the national Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
