IMOS Ships of Opportunity Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander, December 2023

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8276. The data was collected from 15 December 2023 to 19 December 2023 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on 21 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic time series based on underway sensor measurements.
• Model environmental conditions in tropical waters based on vessel-collected data.
• Validate satellite or model data against in-situ observations from research vessels.
• Study short-term marine phenomena during a specific research voyage.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a specific temporal coverage from 15 to 19 December 2023.
• Collected via the dedicated 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip.
