NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Data from the North Pacific Ocean, July-August 2018

NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data during a 2018 cruise in the North Pacific and Philippine Sea. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted these data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated program.

Use Cases

• Modeling air-sea heat and momentum exchange based on underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship track and environmental conditions based on navigational and time series data.
• Studying optical water properties based on the optical data mentioned in the description.
• Correlating cruise activities with sensor readings based on supplementary Ship Daily Activity Log metadata.

Strengths

• Data spans a specific 24-day period from 2018-07-09 to 2018-08-01.
• Includes multiple data streams: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Archived through the established NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2018-08-01; freshness should be verified for current applications.
