NOAA Okeanos Explorer Underway Data from the North Atlantic Ocean, June-July 2018

North Atlantic Ocean underway data collected aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer from 2018-06-12 to 2018-07 02. The dataset contains raw meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System. NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations submitted the data and associated cruise-level metadata as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Correlating meteorological conditions with oceanographic readings based on the described time series data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns in relation to physical ocean data based on the navigational and physical data types.
• Studying optical properties of seawater in the North Atlantic based on the optical data mentioned.
• Developing automated data ingestion workflows for vessel-collected time series based on the NOAA R2R program description.

Strengths

• Data spans a specific 21-day period from 2018-06-12 to 2018-07-02.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Collected via an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository 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 2018-07-02 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
