Underway Oceanographic Data from RV Solander January 2020 Voyage

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 7299. The dataset covers the period from 01 January 2020 to 22 January 2020. It provides time-series observations for oceanographic and environmental monitoring.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data from the RV Solander voyage to study oceanographic conditions in January 2020.
• Correlate underway measurements with known environmental monitoring parameters for the specified time range.
• Use the sensor data from the Ships of Opportunity facility to validate regional marine science models for Australian waters.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a defined 22-day time series of observations from a specific research vessel voyage (Trip 7299).
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, indicating structured data stewardship.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, sample data, and dataset size are unknown, limiting immediate analytical utility.
• Available file formats (WMS, PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be served via web services rather than raw tabular files.
• The license is not specified, which may restrict commercial or redistribution use cases.
