The Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean are the geographic scope for this collection of raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data. NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel logged the data aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson from March 3 to March 12, 2014. The data were archived by the National Oceanographic Data Center as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.
Use Cases
- Analyze marine meteorological conditions based on the described underway meteorological data.
- Study ship-track oceanographic properties based on the described physical and optical data.
- Correlate navigational parameters with environmental measurements based on the described navigational data.
- Model time-series trends in the Bering Sea based on the described time-series data collection.
Strengths
- Data collection spans a 10-day period from 2014-03-03 to 2014-03-12.
- Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
- Data originates from a NOAA research vessel and was archived via the NOAA R2R program.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2014-03-12 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
