IMOS Underway Marine Data from RV Solander, October 2023

October 11 to 25, 2023 data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8161. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on underway sensor data.
• Studying temporal variability in marine parameters during a specific research voyage.
• Validating satellite or model data with in-situ observations from a research vessel.
• Mapping spatial patterns of ocean properties in the region covered by the trip.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Provides a specific two-week temporal snapshot from October 2023.
• Hosted by the national Australian Ocean Data Network.

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's voyage.
