Underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile and time series data col

NCEI Accession 0165352 contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data logged aboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter. The data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from July 2 to August 25, 2017, and submitted by the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.

Use Cases

• Modeling sea surface temperature and atmospheric conditions based on the described meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship track and navigation patterns in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic from the navigational data.
• Studying temporal changes in oceanographic profiles based on the described profile and time series data.
• Correlating optical measurements with other physical oceanographic variables mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 55-day cruise from 2017-07-02 to 2017-08-25.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Collected and submitted through the established NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated process.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2017-08-25; freshness should be verified for current applications.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
