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

From March 1 to March 10, 2017, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data were logged aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson in the Gulf of Alaska. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel submitted the data and metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program. The dataset also includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Analyze meteorological trends in the Gulf of Alaska based on the described underway meteorological data.
• Study ship navigation patterns and environmental correlations based on the navigational and physical data.
• Integrate multi-sensor time series for oceanographic research based on the optical and physical data streams.
• Validate automated data archiving processes for research vessels based on the NOAA R2R program metadata.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 10-day cruise from March 1 to March 10, 2017.
• 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.
