Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage, October 2019

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the RV Solander's Trip 7255, which took place from 14 October 2019 to 28 October 2019. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal oceanographic trends based on the two-week continuous voyage data mentioned in the description
• Model marine environmental conditions based on sensor data collected from a research vessel
• Calibrate remote sensing data with in-situ measurements based on the underway sensor platform

Strengths

• Data is part of a national observing system (IMOS), suggesting institutional oversight.
• The specific voyage and date range (14-28 Oct 2019) are clearly documented.

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/source bias inherent to data_gov_au.
