Underway data from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator Voyage IN2015_V02, collected between May 15 and May 26, 2015. The dataset includes navigation, thermosalinograph, and atmospheric measurements recorded at 5-second intervals. Data is processed and archived by the CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere Data Centre in Hobart.
Use Cases
- Model ocean currents based on navigation data including speed, heading, and course over ground.
- Analyze seawater properties based on thermosalinograph data for salinity, temperature, and fluorescence.
- Study atmospheric conditions based on port and starboard measurements for humidity, wind, and air temperature.
- Track vessel trajectory and environmental changes over time based on 5-second interval recordings.
Strengths
- Data recorded at high-frequency 5-second intervals.
- Includes three distinct data streams: navigation, thermosalinograph, and atmospheric.
- Voyage dates and route (Sydney to Brisbane) are explicitly stated.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
