NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Data from the North Pacific Ocean, July-August 2014

NODC Accession 0123095 contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data, which was collected in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea from 2014-07-24 to 2014-08-25. The dataset includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log, archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling marine meteorological conditions based on the described underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship navigation and track patterns based on the navigational data mentioned.
• Studying ocean optical properties based on the optical data collected.
• Investigating physical oceanographic processes based on the described physical data time series.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple concurrent measurement types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Data collection follows a defined automated process under the NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2014-08-25; freshness should be verified for current applications.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
