NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson Underway Data from the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, April-May 2019

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 2019-04-19 to 2019 05-02. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository automated process.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on logged navigational and time series data.
• Studying regional optical properties of seawater based on optical data mentioned in the description.
• Correlating physical oceanographic measurements with cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 14-day cruise from April 19 to May 2, 2019.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical, logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2019-05-02 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
