IMOS Underway Ocean Data from RV Solander, June 2018

Australian marine data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The dataset was gathered by sensors aboard the research vessel RV Solander during a specific trip from 15 to 19 June 2018. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing spatial-temporal patterns of ocean conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Calibrating marine sensor models using data from a known research vessel and time period.
• Studying short-term oceanic variability in Australian waters based on the trip's time range.
• Integrating point-source vessel data with broader oceanographic observation networks.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the voyage from 15 to 19 June 2018.
• Data is associated with a known research vessel, the RV Solander, and a specific trip identifier (6937).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel's short voyage.
