From 2017-09-22 to 2017-10-07, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data were logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson. The data were collected in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean and submitted to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel. Supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log is also included, archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on underway meteorological data.
- Analyzing ship navigation patterns and routes in the Gulf of Alaska.
- Studying time-series of physical oceanographic properties in the Bering Sea.
- Correlating optical measurements with other environmental variables from the cruise.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 16-day cruise from 2017-09 22 to 2017-10-07.
- Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
- Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2017-10-07 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
