Australian waters off Hillarys, Western Australia, are covered by this underway dataset from the 19th March 2014 research voyage. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides continuous measurements including GPS navigation, thermosalinograph, and fluorometer data. Data are stored at 1-second, 10-second, and 5-minute intervals in NetCDF and CSV formats.
Use Cases
- Mapping ship track and oceanographic conditions based on GPS and thermosalinograph data
- Analyzing high-frequency temporal patterns in seawater properties based on 1-second interval data
- Studying phytoplankton distribution based on fluorometer measurements
- Calibrating or validating regional ocean models based on in-situ underway observations
Strengths
- Data includes multiple temporal resolutions (1-second, 10-second, 5-minute intervals) for flexibility in analysis.
- A dedicated data processing report for the voyage is referenced, suggesting documented quality control.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified; the last metadata update is 2026-06-05.
