Underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical and time series data collected ab

NODC Accession 0124596 contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical and time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System (SCS) aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson. The data were collected in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska and North Pacific Ocean from 2014-08 17 to 2014-10-06 and submitted to NODC by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling regional weather patterns based on underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship navigation and track data for operational research.
• Studying ocean optical properties based on the described optical measurements.
• Investigating physical oceanographic time series for climate studies.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a 50-day cruise from August to October 2014.
• Includes multiple data streams: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Data and metadata were submitted via an automated process under the NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Last updated 2014-10-06 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.
