NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Data in the North Pacific Ocean, March 2014

NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data in the North Pacific Ocean from March 17 to March 28, 2014. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted these data and associated metadata to the National Oceanographic Data Center. The automated archiving process was developed under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Analyze meteorological trends over time based on the described time series data.
• Correlate navigational parameters with physical oceanographic measurements mentioned in the description.
• Validate automated data logging processes for underway ship systems based on the Scientific Computer System (SCS) source.
• Study cruise-level operational patterns using supplementary metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL).

Strengths

• Data spans a specific 12-day voyage from 2014-03-17 to 2014-03-28.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical, as described.
• Archived through an automated process under the NOAA R2R program, suggesting standardized collection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2014-03-28; freshness should be verified for current applications.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
