IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 8338, July-August 2024

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the RV Solander Trip 8338, covering a voyage from 29 July 2024 to 13 August 2024. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which was last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing temporal trends in marine variables during a specific research voyage.
• Calibrating satellite or remote sensing data with in-situ observations.
• Studying tropical marine environments based on data from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage from 29 July 2024 to 13 August 2024.
• Last updated on 22 March 2026, suggesting recent metadata maintenance.

Limitations

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