NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson Underway Data from the Bering Sea, 2014

From April 4 to May 2, 2014, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data were collected aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data, which was logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System and archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program. The dataset also 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 data for operational research.
• Studying oceanographic physical properties from time series measurements.
• Correlating optical observations with other environmental variables.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 29-day cruise from April 4 to May 2, 2014.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Archived via the established NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2014-05-02 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
