Sound velocity and temperature data were collected from the USS PORTER from August 28, 2000 to October 22, 2000. The data were submitted by the US NAVY; Ships of Opportunity using XBT casts and sound velocity strip charts in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. The dataset is archived by NOAA_NCEI.
Use Cases
- Modeling underwater sound propagation based on sound velocity measurements
- Analyzing seasonal ocean temperature profiles based on XBT cast data
- Studying naval vessel operational data collection methods
- Correlating acoustic and thermal data for oceanographic research
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 56-day period from August to October 2000
- Data originates from a specific naval vessel, the USS Porter
- Data collection methods (XBT casts and strip charts) are specified
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Last updated 2000-10-22 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
