NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Meteorological and Oceanographic Data, May-June 2014

From 2014-05-31 to 2014-06-16, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data were logged aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel submitted the data and metadata to NODC under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program. The accession also includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL).

Use Cases

• Analyze meteorological conditions and trends based on the logged underway meteorological data.
• Study physical oceanographic properties based on the described physical data.
• Correlate ship navigation with environmental observations based on the navigational data.
• Examine optical properties of seawater based on the mentioned optical data.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 17-day voyage from May 31 to June 16, 2014.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
