Underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical and time series data collected ab

NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data in the North Pacific Ocean from 2018-10-18 to 2018-11-01. 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 process.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on underway meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on navigational and optical data.
• Studying temporal variability in marine parameters based on the time series data.
• Validating satellite-derived oceanographic measurements based on in-situ physical and optical data.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 15-day period from 2018-10 18 to 2018-11-01.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Archived through the established NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2018-11-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single ship cruise in the North Pacific.
