NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Oceanographic Data from the North Atlantic, October 2017

NOAA Ship Pisces collected raw underway biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile and time series data in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2017-10-09 to 2017-10-13. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The archive also includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log, processed through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing marine biological activity patterns based on biological and optical measurements.
• Studying ship-track environmental profiles based on profile and time series data.
• Correlating vessel navigation with environmental conditions based on navigational data.

Strengths

• Data spans multiple oceanographic domains: biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Collected via an automated archiving process under the NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2017-10-13 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
