Underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical and time series data collected ab

NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2018-05-22 to 2018-06 06. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data, which was logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System and archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program. The dataset includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Correlating atmospheric conditions with oceanographic variables based on the described meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental interactions based on the navigational and time series data.
• Studying short-term environmental variability in a specific ocean region based on the two-week time series.
• Validating automated data collection and archival processes for marine research vessels based on the NOAA R2R program description.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific two-week voyage from 2018-05-22 to 2018-06-06, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Includes multiple data domains (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical) logged from a single research platform.
• Archived through an established automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2018-06-06 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
