NOAA Ship Delaware II Meteorological and Physical Data, North Atlantic 2004

From July 26 to August 19, 2004, the NOAA Ship Delaware II collected underway meteorological and physical oceanographic data in the North Atlantic. The dataset is published by NOAA NCEI and accessed via the NASA Earthdata platform. The specific variables and data volume are not detailed in the available metadata.

Use Cases

• Modeling sea surface temperature and atmospheric pressure relationships (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Analyzing temporal trends in oceanographic parameters during a summer cruise (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Validating satellite-derived ocean data with in-situ ship measurements (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Published by the authoritative source NOAA NCEI.
• Data has a precise temporal coverage from 2004-07-26 to 2004-08-19.
• Spatial coverage is explicitly defined as the North Atlantic.

Limitations

• Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
• Last updated 2004-08-19 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
