NOAA NCEI Accession 0150824 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 from March 17 to March 22, 2016, and submitted by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling marine meteorological conditions based on underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and oceanographic profiles in the Gulf of Mexico.
• Studying time series of physical and optical ocean properties for a specific cruise.
• Integrating supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log for operational research.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 6-day cruise from 2016-03-17 to 2016-03-22.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

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