NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Data in the North Pacific Ocean, 2018

NCEI Accession 0174090 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 May 27 to July 5, 2018. The data and supplementary cruise-level metadata were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Correlating meteorological conditions with oceanographic parameters based on the described multi-sensor data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and their relationship to environmental measurements.
• Validating satellite or model-derived sea surface data against in-situ optical and physical measurements.
• Studying temporal variability of ocean-atmosphere interactions during a specific cruise period.

Strengths

• Data spans a continuous 40-day period from May 27 to July 5, 2018.
• Includes multiple data streams: 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 2018-07-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
