IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 8561, June 2025

Underway marine 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 8561 from June 11 to June 21, 2025. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on June 16, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Model physical ocean processes based on data from the Ships of Opportunity program
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ measurements from research vessels

Strengths

• Data collected by a national marine observing system (IMOS), suggesting institutional quality control.
• Specific temporal coverage from June 11 to June 21, 2025, providing a defined observation period.
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

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 bias inherent to the RV Solander's route.
