Oceanographic data from the R/V Alpha Helix was collected in the Bering Sea and other locations from September 17 to September 25, 1986. The dataset includes barometric pressure and other unspecified measurements. It is managed by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal trends in barometric_pressure over the 9-day cruise period.
- Correlate atmospheric_pressure data with other oceanographic variables collected by the vessel.
- Model regional weather patterns in the Bering_Sea using in-situ pressure observations.
- Validate satellite-derived atmospheric data against ship-based measurements from the 1986 expedition.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 9-day research cruise in September 1986.
- Sourced from a known research vessel, the R/V Alpha Helix, operated by a credible institution.
Limitations
- Dataset is over 35 years old, limiting relevance for contemporary climate studies.
- Specific column names, row counts, and other measured variables are unknown.
- Geographic coverage beyond the Bering Sea is unspecified ('others').
