NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter Underway Oceanographic Data from the Gulf of Mexico, April 2021

NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter collected raw underway biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the Gulf of Mexico from 2021-04-20 to 2021-04 30. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data, which was archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program. The accession includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on the described physical and profile data
• Analyzing biological activity patterns based on the described biological data
• Correlating meteorological and navigational data for ship-track environmental studies
• Conducting time-series analysis of underway optical measurements

Strengths

• Data spans multiple domains: biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series
• Includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log
• Collected over a defined 11-day period from 2021-04-20 to 2021-04-30

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last updated 2021-04-30 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
