Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage 8268

27 January 2024 to 06 February 2024 data collected by the Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels sub-facility aboard the RV Solander. This dataset contains underway sensor observations from a Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) facility within the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). It is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-series sensor data for oceanographic parameter trends during the voyage period.
• Correlate underway sensor readings with known voyage metadata (vessel, trip number, date range).
• Integrate sensor data with other IMOS datasets using standardized platform and temporal identifiers.
• Visualize spatial sensor coverage for the RV Solander's route from late January to early February 2024.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a defined temporal coverage from 27 January 2024 to 06 February 2024.
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Specific sensor parameters, column structure, and data volume (rows) are not documented.
• Data is available only in visualization formats (WMS, PNG, HTML), limiting direct analytical use.
• The license is unspecified, which may restrict certain downstream applications.
