NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown Underway Oceanographic Data from October 2020

NCEI Accession 0228725 contains raw underway biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, and time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data, collected in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2020-10 14 to 2020-11-01. The data were archived through an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on the meteorological and physical data mentioned in the description
• Studying marine biological patterns based on the biological data collected underway
• Analyzing ship navigation and environmental conditions based on the navigational and optical data
• Conducting time series analysis of oceanographic parameters across the cruise track

Strengths

• Data spans multiple domains: biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical
• Includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log
• Collected over a defined 19-day period from 2020-10-14 to 2020-11-01

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last updated 2020-11-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
