IMOS Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 8141, Sep 2023

From 14 to 24 September 2023, the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) collected underway sensor data via its Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the research vessel RV Solander during Trip 8141. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal patterns in marine data based on the time-series nature of the collection
• Calibrating remote sensing models based on in-situ sensor data from a research vessel

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
• Collection period is precisely defined as 14 to 24 September 2023
• Data originates from a dedicated research vessel (RV Solander) under a structured facility

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
