IMOS Underway Oceanographic Data from RV Solander Trip 6999

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander Trip 6999. The dataset covers a time range from 30 September 2018 to 20 October 2018. It supports oceanographic and environmental monitoring research in Australian waters.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the RV Solander voyage from 30 Sep to 20 Oct 2018.
• Integrate WMS and PNG data layers for spatial visualization of marine environmental conditions.
• Use the dataset for calibration or validation of marine sensor networks under the IMOS SOOP facility.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a defined temporal coverage from 30 September 2018 to 20 October 2018.
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network organization.

Limitations

• Specific data dimensions (rows, columns, file size) and column names are unknown.
• Data is available only in WMS, PNG, and HTML formats, which may limit direct analytical use.
• The dataset represents a single, short-duration voyage (21 days), limiting temporal scope.
