Underway Meteorological and Oceanographic Data from NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, 2019

Raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data logged aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. The data was collected in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2019-05 30 to 2019-07-12 and submitted to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations. Supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log is also included.

Use Cases

• Correlating meteorological conditions with oceanographic parameters based on the described underway data streams.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and their environmental context based on logged navigational and time series data.
• Studying optical properties of seawater in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic based on the described optical data.
• Validating or calibrating satellite-derived oceanographic measurements with in-situ physical data collected by the ship.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 44-day cruise from 2019-05-30 to 2019-07-12.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical, as described.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2019-07-12 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
