IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 8563, July-August 2025

IMOS Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8563. The dataset covers a voyage from 25 July 2025 to 03 August 2025 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The record was last updated on 28 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements.
• Analyzing temporal trends in marine data collected during a specific research voyage.
• Calibrating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ observations from a research vessel.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the voyage from 25 July 2025 to 03 August 2025.
• Record metadata includes a precise last update timestamp of 2026-04-28 12:16:16.399906.

Limitations

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