Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander, Jan-Feb 2023

From 22 January 2023 to 06 February 2023, the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) collected underway data via the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander. The data is part of the Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) facility and is aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It was last updated in the platform on 28 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions in tropical Australian waters based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine environments based on the two-week continuous collection period.
• Calibrating remote sensing or other observational models based on in-situ sensor measurements.
• Studying vessel-based observation methodologies within the IMOS Ships of Opportunity program.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Collection period is precisely defined from 22 Jan 2023 to 06 Feb 2023.
• Platform metadata shows a recent update timestamp of 2026-04-28.

Limitations

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