NOAA Oregon II Underway Oceanographic Data in the Gulf of Mexico, October-November 2020

The Gulf of Mexico is the geographic scope for this collection of raw underway data logged aboard NOAA Ship Oregon II from 2020-10-15 to 2020-11-24. It includes biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data submitted by the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated process.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on the meteorological and physical data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing marine ecosystem dynamics based on the biological and optical data mentioned in the description
• Studying vessel-based environmental monitoring based on the underway profile and time series data mentioned in the description
• Calibrating satellite oceanographic products based on the in-situ physical and optical measurements mentioned in the description

Strengths

• Data collection spans a 41-day continuous cruise from 2020-10-15 to 2020-11-24.
• Includes multiple data types: biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Data were collected and submitted by NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2020-11-24 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
