The data were archived through an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling marine weather patterns based on underway meteorological data
• Analyzing ship navigation and track patterns based on logged navigational data
• Studying ocean optical properties based on the optical data mentioned
• Correlating physical oceanographic variables with time and location

Strengths

• Data collected over a continuous 20-day period in September 2016
• Includes multiple data streams: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log

Limitations

• Last updated 2016-09-25 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
