Description
NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson collected raw underway biological, chemical, meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data in the Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean from 2021-01-27 to 2021-02-28. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data logged by the Scientific Computer System and associated metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The data were archived through an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.
Use Cases
Modeling oceanographic conditions based on the described physical and chemical time series data.
Analyzing biological activity patterns based on the described biological data.
Studying meteorological and navigational correlations based on the described meteorological and navigational data.
Calibrating satellite or model data based on the described in-situ optical and physical measurements.
Strengths
Data collection spans a one-month time series from January to February 2021.
Includes multiple data domains: biological, chemical, meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
Data originates from a NOAA research vessel and is archived via the NOAA R2R program.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
