This data set was collected by the SOOP sub-facility 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' aboard the RV Cape Ferguson Trip 5903.Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeededStatement: All sensors are factory calibrated and then calibrated and serviced every six months.The clocks on all instruments are set each night at mid-night from a central server which is turn has its clock set off an NTP server. Typical time drift in a day is a few seconds.The clocks on all instruments are set each night at mid-night from a central server which is turn has its clock set off an NTP server. The location of all fixed equipment is recorded using a standard GPS so the accuracy should be within 5-10m using WGS-84. All mobile equipment has an on-board GPS and so should have equivalent accuracy although is will be around 10-20m due to the nature of the movement of the buoys. Instruments are replaced and serviced at regular intervals. There is a single metadata record for each research trip with the deployment details for each of the sensors that make up the underway sensor package described in the metadata record. Data are quality controlled by validating against a set of rules (bounds checking, etc) and then flagged using the IODE set of flags.&rft.creator=Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) &rft.creator=Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) &rft.date=2026&rft.coverage=146.91438,-19.15198 146.92268,-19.10516 146.92208,-19.07952 146.92702,-19.05422 146.91274,-18.94986 146.91008,-18.92342 146.9039,-18.8396 146.89786,-18.73276 146.88722,-18.6248 146.88346,-18.59724 146.87874,-18.56964 146.8677,-18.51532 146.86458,-18.49204 146.88084,-18.49966 146.90418,-18.51308 146.92948,-18.52606 146.95568,-18.53808 147.00956,-18.56112 147.06414,-18.58568 147.14656,-18.62 147.22666,-18.65488 147.3342,-18.69792 147.3611,-18.7095 147.41436,-18.7362 147.4679,-18.76148 147.52382,-18.78316 147.57874,-18.80562 147.62588,-18.82292 147.6362,-18.82746 147.63592,-18.82836 147.63562,-18.82718 147.6321,-18.82618 147.61234,-18.83112 147.59306,-18.85044 147.55314,-18.88582 147.53232,-18.90226 147.46716,-18.95106 147.44354,-18.9658 147.41966,-18.97938 147.3937,-18.99076 147.3663,-18.99928 147.31084,-19.01488 147.25516,-19.03246 147.22794,-19.04318 147.20308,-19.05716 147.17884,-19.07304 147.15564,-19.0901 147.1357,-19.11018 147.11736,-19.13114 147.10326,-19.15442 147.09676,-19.18036 147.08626,-19.23132 146.91438,-19.15198 147.08626,-19.23132 147.09676,-19.18036 147.10326,-19.15442 147.11736,-19.13114 147.1357,-19.11018 147.15564,-19.0901 147.17884,-19.07304 147.20308,-19.05716 147.22794,-19.04318 147.25516,-19.03246 147.31084,-19.01488 147.3663,-18.99928 147.3937,-18.99076 147.41966,-18.97938 147.44354,-18.9658 147.46716,-18.95106 147.53232,-18.90226 147.55314,-18.88582 147.59306,-18.85044 147.61234,-18.83112 147.6321,-18.82618 147.63562,-18.82718 147.63592,-18.82836 147.6362,-18.82746 147.62588,-18.82292 147.57874,-18.80562 147.52382,-18.78316 147.4679,-18.76148 147.41436,-18.7362 147.3611,-18.7095 147.3342,-18.69792 147.22666,-18.65488 147.14656,-18.62 147.06414,-18.58568 147.00956,-18.56112 146.95568,-18.53808 146.92948,-18.52606 146.90418,-18.51308 146.88084,-18.49966 146.86458,-18.49204 146.8677,-18.51532 146.87874,-18.56964 146.88346,-18.59724 146.88722,-18.6248 146.89786,-18.73276 146.9039,-18.8396 146.91008,-18.92342 146.91274,-18.94986 146.92702,-19.05422 146.92208,-19.07952 146.92268,-19.10516 146.91438,-19.15198&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/&rft_rights=Use Limitation: All AIMS data, products and services are provided as is and AIMS does not warrant their fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
