NOAA Okeanos Explorer Underway Data from the North Atlantic Ocean, October 2018

NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2018-10-06 to 2018-10-24. The data and supplementary cruise-level metadata were submitted by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel and archived by the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program. This dataset represents a specific 19-day cruise logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere heat and gas exchange based on underway meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship navigation and environmental correlation based on logged navigational and time series data.
• Calibrating remote sensing observations with in-situ optical measurements mentioned in the description.
• Studying North Atlantic Ocean conditions during a specific autumn period based on the cruise time range.

Strengths

• Data originates from a dedicated NOAA research vessel, the Okeanos Explorer.
• Includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Covers a specific 19-day period from 2018-10-06 to 2018-10-24.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2018-10-24 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
