Underway Marine Sensor Data from RV Solander Trip 8661, Nov-Dec 2025

Data collected from 27 November 2025 to 15 December 2025 by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). The dataset originates from the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8661. It is aggregated and served by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns in marine conditions based on underway sensor data.
• Model oceanographic processes in tropical regions based on vessel-collected observations.
• Validate or calibrate remote sensing data with in-situ sensor measurements from the described voyage.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from a dedicated national marine observing system (IMOS).
• Temporal coverage is precisely defined as 27 November 2025 to 15 December 2025.
• Data is associated with a specific research vessel and voyage (RV Solander Trip 8661).

Limitations

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