IMOS Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 8261, May-June 2024

Australian coastal data collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data was gathered by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8261 from 19 May 2024 to 05 June 2024. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 28 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal oceanographic patterns based on the specified voyage date range.
• Modeling marine environmental conditions based on underway sensor data collection.
• Calibrating satellite or model data with in-situ observations from research vessels.
• Studying specific regional phenomena in Australian tropical waters based on the vessel's operational area.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• The collection period is precisely defined as 19 May 2024 to 05 June 2024.
• Data is part of a structured national facility program (Ships of Opportunity).

Limitations

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