Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 7169

Ocean sensor data was collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander. The dataset covers a specific voyage, Trip 7169, from 19 May 2019 to 23 May 2019. It is part of the broader Ships of Opportunity facility for marine environmental monitoring.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the May 2019 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with known environmental monitoring tags like Oceanography and Marine Science.
• Use the data as a point-in-time reference for conditions in the vessel's operational area, as indicated by the Time Series tag.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a specific 5-day temporal coverage from 19 to 23 May 2019.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, a recognized organization in marine data.

Limitations

• The specific sensor variables, data rows, and file size are unknown.
• Data is available only in WMS, PNG, and HTML formats, which may not be ideal for direct numerical analysis.
• The dataset represents a single, short-duration voyage, limiting temporal scope.
