Physical and meteorological data were collected from the R/V COLUMBUS ISELIN in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science gathered the data over a nine-day period from October 28 to November 5, 1975, using a sediment sampler and other instruments. Data collection was supported by the Outer Continental Shelf - Mid Atlantic (OCS-Mid Atlantic) project.
Use Cases
- Analyze sediment composition and transport based on sediment sampler data.
- Study short-term meteorological conditions over the ocean during the collection period.
- Correlate physical oceanographic measurements with bathymetric or geological features of the Outer Continental Shelf.
Strengths
- Data collection is precisely dated from 1975-10-28 to 1975-11-05.
- Collection was conducted by a named research institution (Virginia Institute of Marine Science).
- Specific research vessel (COLUMBUS ISELIN) and geographic area (North Atlantic Ocean) are documented.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 1975-11-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
