NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker Underway Data from the North Pacific Ocean, 2016

The North Pacific Ocean is the geographic scope for this collection of raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data. Data was logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker during a voyage from January 6 to January 30, 2016. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Correlating meteorological and physical oceanographic variables based on the described multi-sensor data collection.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on the navigational and meteorological data mentioned.
• Studying short-term oceanographic phenomena in the North Pacific based on the time-series data collected over a 25-day period.
• Validating automated data archiving processes for underway ship data based on the NOAA R2R program context.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 25-day voyage from 2016-01-06 to 2016-01 30.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical, as described.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2016-01-30 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
