Two days of raw underway data collected aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson in the Gulf of Alaska from 2021-02-27 to 2021-02-28. The dataset includes biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System. NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations submitted the data and cruise-level metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information via the Rolling Deck to Repository program.
Use Cases
- Modeling short-term oceanographic conditions based on the described physical and time series data.
- Analyzing correlations between meteorological and biological variables mentioned in the description.
- Calibrating remote sensing instruments using the described optical and navigational data.
- Studying vessel-based data collection methodologies for the NOAA R2R program.
Strengths
- Data covers multiple simultaneous measurement domains: biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
- Includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
- Data is archived through an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
