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

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 2019-05-05 to 2019-05-22. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log. The data were archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated process.

Use Cases

• Modeling regional weather patterns based on underway meteorological data
• Analyzing ship navigation and environmental conditions based on navigational and physical data
• Studying temporal oceanographic trends based on the time series data collection
• Correlating optical measurements with other physical parameters collected underway

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 18-day voyage from 2019-05 05 to 2019-05-22
• 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 2019-05-22 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
