Description
NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean from April 22 to May 8, 2017. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted these data and supplementary cruise-level metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The automated archiving process was developed under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.
