NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter Underway Oceanographic and Meteorological Data, July 2014

NODC Accession 0120740 contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter. The data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from July 4 to July 31, 2014, and submitted to NODC by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling air-sea heat and momentum exchange based on underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship track influence on local measurements based on navigational data.
• Studying temporal variability of ocean properties based on time series and profile data.
• Correlating optical water properties with physical measurements based on the described data types.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 28-day period from July 4 to July 31, 2014.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Data were collected and archived under the formal NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2014-07-31 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
