NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Oceanographic Data, North Pacific 2016

North Pacific Ocean underway data collected aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette from 2016-10-13 to 2016-11-04. The dataset contains raw meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System (SCS). Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel submitted the data and metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on underway meteorological data
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on navigational and time series data
• Studying optical properties of seawater based on optical data mentioned in the description
• Correlating physical oceanographic measurements with meteorological observations

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 23-day period from 2016-10 13 to 2016-11-04.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2016-11-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
