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

From 2015-10 26 to 2015-11-09, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical time series data were logged aboard NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker in the coastal waters of Southeast Alaska, the North Atlantic, and North Pacific Oceans. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel submitted the data and associated metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). The data were archived through an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.

Use Cases

• Correlate meteorological conditions with physical oceanographic data based on the described time series.
• Analyze ship navigation patterns in coastal waters based on the navigational data mentioned.
• Study optical properties of water in different ocean basins based on the optical data logged.
• Validate automated data ingestion pipelines for scientific ship logs based on the NOAA R2R program context.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple measurement types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL).
• Archived through a formal, automated process under the NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2015-11-09 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
