NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter Underway Data from the Bay of Fundy and North Atlantic Ocean, 2015

NODC Accession 0130005 contains raw underway composition, location, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data logged aboard NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter. The data were collected in the Bay of Fundy and North Atlantic Ocean from 2015-06-18 to 2015-07-24 and submitted by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel. This archive 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 heat exchange based on meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship track and environmental conditions based on navigational and location data.
• Studying water column properties based on profile and optical data.
• Correlating ship operations with environmental measurements based on time series and log metadata.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 37-day period from 2015-06 18 to 2015-07-24.
• Includes multiple data types (composition, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) from a single research cruise.
• Archive includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Data were processed through an automated archiving program (NOAA R2R).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2015-07-24; freshness should be verified for current applications.
