NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Data in the North Pacific Ocean, 2017

NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data in the North Pacific Ocean from 2017-07-07 to 2017-10-01. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The data were archived through an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and routes in the North Pacific Ocean.
• Studying temporal changes in physical oceanographic properties from time series data.
• Correlating optical measurements with other environmental variables collected during the cruise.

Strengths

• Data collection spans nearly three months from July to October 2017.
• Includes multiple data types: 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.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2017-10-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
