Underway Marine Data from RV Solander Voyage, July-August 2019

IMOS 'Ships of Opportunity' data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander Trip 7175. The voyage occurred from 25 July 2019 to 11 August 2019. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on the 'underway' data collection method.
• Model spatial-temporal patterns in tropical waters based on the voyage's time range and location.
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ ship-based observations.
• Study marine phenomena specific to the Australian region during the July-August period.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific voyage (Trip 7175) and date range (25 Jul 2019 to 11 Aug 2019) are clearly documented.
• Data is served via standard geospatial formats (WMS, PNG) for interoperability.

Limitations

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