Underway Oceanographic Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage 8261

Sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility during a voyage of the RV Solander. The dataset covers a specific 18-day period from 19 May 2024 to 05 June 2024, providing time-series observations for oceanographic and environmental monitoring.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic patterns during the RV Solander's 18-day voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with known geographic routes of tropical research vessels.
• Use the data for environmental monitoring studies focused on Australian marine regions.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Provides a defined 18-day temporal coverage from 19 May to 05 June 2024.
• Focuses on the specific voyage (Trip 8261) of the research vessel RV Solander.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, row counts, and file sizes are unknown, limiting immediate analytical utility.
• Available only in WMS, PNG, and HTML formats, which are less common for direct numerical analysis than CSV or NetCDF.
• The license is unspecified, which may restrict certain uses.
