Underway data from the RV Investigator voyage IN2018_E01 between June 9 and June 11, 2018. The Marine National Facility collected continuous navigation, thermosalinograph, and atmospheric measurements. This data is supplied to IMOS AODN and NOAA for satellite sea surface temperature validation.
Use Cases
- Validate satellite sea surface temperature products based on SBE 38 SST data.
- Study air-sea interaction fluxes based on meteorological data.
- Analyze oceanographic conditions along a vessel track based on thermosalinograph data.
- Calibrate numerical weather prediction models based on real-time SST boundary conditions.
- Contribute to global ocean climate datasets like ICOADS based on the data's dissemination via the GTS.
Strengths
- Data collected continuously over a specific voyage from June 9 to June 11, 2018.
- Includes three distinct data streams: navigation, thermosalinograph, and atmospheric.
- Data is integrated into multiple global climate data products and real-time operational systems.
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 record was last updated in 2026.
