Underway meteorological, navigational and physical data collected aboard NOAA Ship Ferdina

NOAA Ship Ferdinand R. Hassler collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, and physical data in the North Atlantic Ocean from October 16 to 27, 2015. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted these data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated program.

Use Cases

• Correlating meteorological conditions with ship navigation based on logged underway data.
• Analyzing short-term physical oceanographic trends in the North Atlantic based on the cruise time range.
• Validating automated data archiving pipelines for ship-based scientific collection systems.

Strengths

• Data includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL).
• Collection follows a defined automated archiving process under the NOAA R2R program.
• Specific temporal coverage from 2015-10 16 to 2015-10-27.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2015-10-27 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
