IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 8027, May 2023

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8027. The data collection period was from 09 May 2023 to 26 May 2023. The dataset is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns in marine conditions based on the time-series nature of the data.
• Model oceanographic variables for environmental monitoring based on sensor data collection.
• Correlate underway vessel data with other spatial datasets based on the geospatial and marine science context.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Collection period is precisely defined from 09 May 2023 to 26 May 2023.
• Platform metadata indicates a recent update on 2026-03-22 07:52:48.953816.

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 and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip in Australian waters.
