NODC Accession 0131578 contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson. The data was collected in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean from August 20 to September 2, 2015. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
Use Cases
- Correlating meteorological conditions with oceanographic readings based on the described underway data.
- Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on the logged navigational and physical data.
- Studying short-term time series of optical properties in subarctic waters based on the optical data mentioned.
- Validating automated data archiving processes for ship-based research based on the NOAA R2R program description.
Strengths
- Data collection spans a specific 14-day period from 2015-08-20 to 2015-09 02.
- Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical, as described.
- Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
