IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 8103, Aug-Sep 2023

Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) aboard the RV Solander Trip 8103 from 23 August 2023 to 12 September 2023. The data originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility and is distributed via the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on underway data collection.
• Study temporal patterns in marine parameters during the specified voyage period.
• Integrate with other IMOS datasets for broader marine ecosystem analysis.

Strengths

• Data collected under the standardized IMOS Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) facility.
• Specific voyage (RV Solander Trip 8103) and date range (23 Aug 2023 to 12 Sep 2023) are explicitly defined.

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 a single vessel voyage.
