IMOS SOOP Sea Surface Temperature data collected on the Merchant Vessel Fantasea Wonder (Whitsundays Ferry)

Created 13/03/2025

Updated 13/03/2025

This dataset contains Sea Surface Temperature (SST) underway observations collected on trips of the Merchant Vessel Fantasea Wonder (callsign: VJQ7467) between Shute Harbour and Hardy Reef. Data available from the vessel are skin and bulk SST from two types of sensors. Enhancement of Measurements on Ships of Opportunity (SOOP)-Sea Surface Temperature (SST) aims to supply near real-time SST data (within 24 hours) from SOOPs and research vessels in the Australian region. Observed data are retrieved from the vessel once a day around 6pm and quality controlled at the Bureau of Meteorology. A daily file of 1-minute averages of the observations is generated around 0900 UTC and provided to eMII.
