IMOS SOOP Underway Data from RV Solander Trip 8758, Jan-Feb 2026

Underway marine data collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). The data originates from the RV Solander during Trip 8758 from 22 January 2026 to 11 February 2026. The dataset is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 16 June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor data mentioned in the description
• Study temporal patterns in the tropical marine environment based on the specified voyage dates
• Validate satellite-derived ocean data based on in-situ observations from a research vessel

Strengths

• Data is part of the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• The specific voyage (Trip 8758) and time period (22 Jan 2026 to 11 Feb 2026) are clearly defined.

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/temporal/source bias inherent to data_gov_au.
