NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown Underway Data from the North Atlantic Ocean, 2019

NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2019-05-29 to 2019-06-01. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Correlating meteorological conditions with ship navigation based on the described underway data.
• Analyzing physical oceanographic time series for short-term environmental patterns.
• Validating optical sensor readings against other concurrent physical measurements.
• Studying ship-based data collection processes for the NOAA R2R program.

Strengths

• Data collected from a dedicated NOAA research vessel, suggesting controlled instrumentation.
• Includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Covers a specific four-day time range from 2019-05-29 to 2019-06-01.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2019-06-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
