NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson Underway Data from the Gulf of Alaska, February 2016

From 2016-02-11 to 2016-02-20, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data were logged aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson in the Gulf of Alaska and North Pacific Ocean. The data were submitted by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel and archived by the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program. The dataset includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on the described physical data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns based on the navigational data.
• Studying meteorological trends over the ocean based on the underway meteorological measurements.
• Correlating optical measurements with physical ocean properties.
• Creating time-series analyses of environmental conditions during the cruise.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 10-day cruise from 2016-02-11 to 2016-02-20.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Data was archived through an automated process under the NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Last updated 2016 02 20 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
