IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Solander, July 2019

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 7174. The data likely contains underway sensor measurements from a research vessel voyage between 21 and 24 July 2019. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 21 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Model short-term marine phenomena based on data from a specific vessel trip
• Validate satellite or model data against in-situ observations from a research vessel
• Study sensor performance and data collection methods for tropical research vessels

Strengths

• Data originates from the established Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Covers a specific, documented voyage (Trip 7174) with clear dates (21-24 July 2019)
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the primary access may be via web services rather than raw data files
