IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander, Nov-Dec 2021

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 7691. The data covers a voyage from 30 November 2021 to 10 December 2021. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's route based on the 'Ships of Opportunity' data collection method.
• Modeling sea surface properties in tropical research areas based on the sub-facility 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels'.
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ measurements from the RV Solander.
• Studying temporal variability in marine parameters during the specific voyage period from November to December 2021.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Collection period is precisely defined as 30 November 2021 to 10 December 2021.
• Data is served via multiple formats including WMS, PNG, and HTML for different access needs.

Limitations

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