Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 8162, Oct 2023

A five-day collection from 26 to 30 October 2023, this dataset contains underway sensor observations from the Australian research vessel RV Solander. It was collected under the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity program by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility. The data is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns in ocean conditions based on the underway time-series data
• Model marine environmental variables based on sensor readings from a research vessel
• Validate satellite or model data against in-situ tropical marine observations

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Covers a specific five-day voyage from 26 to 30 October 2023
• Hosted by the authoritative 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/temporal bias inherent to the single vessel trip
