IMOS Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 7647

Australian marine sensor data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility aboard the RV Solander during a specific voyage from 02 to 06 October 2021. The dataset supports oceanographic and environmental monitoring research.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the RV Solander voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with known Australian marine environmental conditions.
• Use the dataset for calibrating or validating other marine sensor networks in the region.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 5-day voyage from 02 to 06 October 2021, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, indicating institutional stewardship.

Limitations

• Data volume, row count, and specific sensor parameters (columns) are not documented.
• Limited temporal coverage to a single 5-day research voyage in 2021.
• Available only in non-tabular formats (WMS, PNG, HTML), complicating direct quantitative analysis.
