Arctic Ocean meteorological data collected aboard the IBRV Araon from August 10 to 21, 2016. The dataset includes 10-minute averaged observations of wind speed, air temperature, pressure, and relative humidity. Data was gathered by AMD_KOPRI and last updated on August 21, 2016.
Use Cases
- Analyzing wind speed patterns over the Arctic Ocean based on mast observations.
- Studying air temperature and humidity trends during a specific Arctic summer period.
- Correlating meteorological variables like pressure and wind for weather event analysis.
- Validating satellite-derived Arctic weather data against in-situ ship measurements.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 12-day period in August 2016, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
- Wind speed values were converted from relative to true values, indicating a processing step for accuracy.
- Observations were taken from two distinct mast locations (radarmast and foremast), suggesting multi-point measurement.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2016-08-21; freshness should be verified for current research.
