IMOS RV Solander Underway Sensor Data from December 2025 Voyage

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 8690 from 17 to 31 December 2025. The dataset contains underway sensor observations from a specific research vessel voyage, managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze vessel tracking patterns from the RV Solander's voyage for marine traffic studies
• Process time-series sensor data for oceanographic parameter monitoring during the December 2025 trip
• Integrate with other IMOS datasets using voyage identifiers and timestamps for broader marine research

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
• Covers a specific 15-day voyage from 17 to 31 December 2025, providing a focused temporal snapshot
• Managed and distributed by the established Australian Ocean Data Network organization

Limitations

• Specific data structure, column definitions, and row counts are unknown, complicating analysis planning
• Available file formats (PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be packaged within reports or images rather than raw tabular files
• The license is unspecified, creating uncertainty for downstream use and redistribution
