IMOS Underway Vessel Data from RV Solander, May-June 2019

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by sensors aboard the Australian research vessel RV Solander during a specific voyage from 28 May to 14 June 2019. The data originates from the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026. This dataset is part of the Integrated Marine Observing System's facility for collecting underway data from research vessels.

Use Cases

• Calibrating satellite-derived sea surface temperature based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing temporal oceanographic trends based on continuous vessel-tracked data.
• Modeling regional marine biogeochemistry based on sensor data from a tropical research vessel.

Strengths

• Data is associated with the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific, documented voyage (Trip 7171) with clear temporal bounds from 28 May to 14 June 2019.
• Last metadata update was recorded on 2026-03-22 08:17:40.573707.

Limitations

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