Underway Ocean Sensor Data from RV Solander Voyage 8466

Sensor data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8466 from 13 January 2025 to 28 January 2025. This dataset is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System's Ships of Opportunity program.

Use Cases

• Analyze time series of sensor data for oceanographic feature detection during the January 2025 voyage.
• Correlate underway sensor measurements with known environmental monitoring tags like Oceanography and Marine Science.
• Use the temporal coverage from 13 Jan 2025 to 28 Jan 2025 to study short-term marine phenomena captured by the vessel's sensors.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Provides a defined temporal coverage of a 16-day voyage in January 2025.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network organization.

Limitations

• The specific sensor parameters, column names, and data volume (rows/size) are unknown.
• Data is available only in PNG and HTML formats, which are not standard for quantitative analysis of sensor time series.
• Limited to a single vessel voyage, restricting spatial and temporal generalizability.
