NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter Underway Data from the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic, May 2017

NCEI Accession 0170548 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 was collected in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2017-05-05 to 2017 05-13 and submitted to NCEI by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel. The dataset includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log, archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Analyze meteorological conditions at sea based on the described underway meteorological data.
• Study oceanographic profiles based on the described physical and profile data.
• Model ship navigation patterns based on the described navigational data.
• Correlate optical measurements with physical ocean properties based on the described optical data.
• Conduct time series analysis of environmental variables based on the described time series data.

Strengths

• Data collected over a 9-day period from 2017-05-05 to 2017-05-13.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Data originates from a NOAA research vessel and is archived via the NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
