Underway Marine Data from RV Solander Voyage, April 2022

Australian coastal data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 7794 from 05 April 2022 to 21 April 2022. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model coastal water properties based on data from a dedicated research vessel
• Validate satellite observations based on in-situ marine measurements

Strengths

• Data collected by a dedicated research vessel (RV Solander) under a national observing system (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage provided: 05 April 2022 to 21 April 2022.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to the single vessel voyage.
