IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 8163, Oct-Nov 2023

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8163. The data covers a voyage from 31 October 2023 to 25 November 2023. The dataset is aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 4 June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Modeling temporal and spatial marine data patterns based on the voyage time range and geospatial nature
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ observations based on the sensor platform
• Studying specific marine phenomena during the October-November 2023 period covered by the trip

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Covers a specific 26-day voyage from 31 October to 25 November 2023
• Collected via a dedicated research vessel (RV Solander) under a standardized facility protocol

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
