IMOS RV Solander Underway Sensor Data from September 2019

26 Sep 2019 to 28 Sep 2019 is the time range for this underway sensor data collected by the RV Solander Trip 7296 as part of the IMOS Ships of Opportunity program. The dataset was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and includes vessel tracking, oceanography, and time series information.

Use Cases

• Analyze vessel tracking patterns from the RV Solander's voyage for maritime route optimization.
• Study oceanographic time series data from underway sensors to monitor short-term marine conditions.
• Integrate sensor data with other IMOS datasets using the vessel and trip identifiers for broader marine research.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific, well-documented 3-day voyage (Trip 7296) of the RV Solander.
• Includes multiple data themes such as Vessel Tracking, Oceanography, and Time Series.

Limitations

• The specific data columns, sample data, and total size are unknown, limiting initial assessment.
• Data is from a single, short-duration voyage in September 2019, offering limited temporal scope.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest visual or service-based access, not raw tabular data.
