NOAA Okeanos Explorer Underway Oceanographic and Meteorological Data, North Atlantic 2019

Raw underway data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer during a cruise in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2019-10-05 to 2019-10 26. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program. The accession includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Correlating atmospheric conditions with oceanographic parameters based on the described meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship track and environmental conditions for voyage planning based on the navigational and optical data mentioned.
• Studying short-term oceanographic processes in the North Atlantic based on the three-week time-series data collection.
• Developing data ingestion pipelines for automated R2R program archives based on the described submission process.

Strengths

• Data spans a specific 22-day cruise from 2019-10-05 to 2019-10-26.
• Includes multiple data streams: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Archived through an automated process under the NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2019-10-26 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
