IMOS Ship Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander, November 2021

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by sensors aboard the RV Solander during a research voyage from 05 to 26 November 2021. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which was last updated in March 2026. It likely contains continuous sensor measurements of oceanographic variables.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing vessel track patterns and associated environmental data
• Validating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ sensor measurements
• Studying temporal variability in marine parameters during a specific research voyage

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Covers a specific 21-day research voyage with a defined start and end date
• Hosted and maintained by the Australian Ocean Data Network

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel's track
