IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Solander, Jan 2023

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected aboard the RV Solander during Trip 7973 from 03 Jan 2023 to 19 Jan 2023. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026. It likely contains sensor readings from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine environments based on the time-series nature of the data.
• Mapping sensor readings along the vessel's route based on the geospatial data formats (WMS).

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Covers a specific 17-day voyage in January 2023.
• Available in multiple formats including WMS for geospatial visualization.

Limitations

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