NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson Underway Data from the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, 2013

From 2013-04-29 to 2013-05-11, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data were collected aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel submitted the data, which was archived by the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program. The dataset includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Modeling marine weather patterns based on underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship navigation and track patterns based on logged navigational data.
• Studying oceanographic time series based on physical and optical measurements.
• Correlating cruise activities with environmental data based on supplementary SDAL metadata.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 13-day cruise from 2013-04 29 to 2013-05-11.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Collected and archived under the established NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Last updated 2013-05-11 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
