NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Data from the North Atlantic Ocean in February 2013

NOAA Ship Pisces collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2013-02-10 to 2013-02-26. The data were logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System and submitted to the National Oceanographic Data Center by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel. Supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log is also included, archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Data collection covers a specific 17-day period from 2013-02-10 to 2013-02-26.
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical) logged from a single research vessel.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

• Last updated 2013-02-26 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
