IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Solander, March 2022

Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) aboard the RV Solander during Trip 7767 from 05 March 2022 to 24 March 2022. The data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 28 April 2026. The dataset is available in WMS, PNG, and HTML formats.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on the 'Ships of Opportunity' data collection method.
• Modeling marine environmental variables in tropical regions based on data from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility.
• Visualizing and mapping underway sensor data based on the availability of WMS and PNG formats.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from a national observing system (IMOS) and a specific research vessel (RV Solander).
• The temporal coverage is precisely defined as 05 March 2022 to 24 March 2022.
• Data formats include web-mapping services (WMS) for direct geospatial access.

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.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
