NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson Underway Data from the Bering Sea, May-June 2016

NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data in the Bering Sea from 2016-05-18 to 2016-06 08. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log. The data were archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated process.

Use Cases

• Modeling marine weather patterns based on the described meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship navigation and track data for operational research.
• Studying optical and physical oceanographic properties in the Bering Sea region.
• Conducting time series analysis on the continuous underway data collection.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 22-day period from May 18 to June 8, 2016.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL).
• Archived via the established NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2016-06-08 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
