Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander, July 2019

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility. The data originates from the RV Solander's Trip 7174, which took place from 21 July 2019 to 24 July 2019. The data is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in the metadata on 18 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine data from a specific research vessel trip
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ observations from the 'Ships of Opportunity' program

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is clearly defined as 21-24 July 2019.
• Data is associated with a specific research vessel and voyage (RV Solander Trip 7174).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to data_gov_au.
