IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 7522, Feb 2021

From 01 February 2021 to 21 February 2021, the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) collected underway data via the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander. The data is part of the broader 'Ships of Opportunity' (SOOP) facility and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on underway sensor data.
• Studying temporal patterns in marine variables during the February 2021 voyage.
• Integrating this specific trip's data with other IMOS SOOP datasets for broader spatial analysis.
• Calibrating or validating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ measurements from the trip.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 21-day period from 01 to 21 February 2021, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Collected via the established 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' operational sub-facility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and variable specifics require manual inspection.
