IMOS SOOP Underway Ocean Data from RV Solander Trip 8101, August 2023

IMOS Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) data was collected by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8101. The dataset covers a voyage from 11 August 2023 to 14 August 2023 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine environments based on the specified 4-day voyage
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ measurements from a research vessel
• Studying vessel-based observation methodologies for the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project, suggesting institutional oversight
• Temporal coverage is precisely defined as 11-14 August 2023
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network

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
