IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 8395, Oct 2024

Underway sensor data collected by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity facility. The data originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8395 from 04 to 15 October 2024. The Australian Ocean Data Network serves as the data custodian.

Use Cases

• Analyzing oceanographic conditions along the vessel's track based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ measurements from the research vessel
• Studying temporal variability of marine parameters during the specific voyage period
• Integrating point-source observational data into larger-scale oceanographic models

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Specific temporal coverage is defined as 04 to 15 October 2024
• Data originates from a dedicated research vessel (RV Solander) under a structured facility program

Limitations

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