NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson Underway Oceanographic Data from the Gulf of Alaska, February 2020

NCEI Accession 0209159 contains raw underway biological, chemical, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical and time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson. The data were collected in the Gulf of Alaska and North Pacific Ocean from 2020-02-11 to 2020-02-17 and submitted to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on the described physical and chemical data.
• Analyzing biological activity patterns in the Gulf of Alaska based on the described biological data.
• Correlating meteorological and navigational data for ship-track environmental studies.
• Studying short-term time series of multi-parameter environmental data from a research vessel.

Strengths

• Data covers multiple domains (biological, chemical, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical) from a single cruise.
• Includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Data collection period is precisely defined as 2020-02-11 to 2020-02-17.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2020-02-17 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
