NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter Underway Oceanographic and Meteorological Data from October 2015

NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2015-10-06 to 2015-10 27. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log to NCEI. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated process.

Use Cases

• Correlating sea surface conditions with atmospheric measurements based on the described meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship track and environmental interaction based on the navigational and time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System.
• Studying short-term oceanic and atmospheric phenomena in the North Atlantic based on the three-week cruise data collection.
• Validating automated data archiving pipelines based on the NOAA R2R program process described.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific three-week period from October 6 to 27, 2015.
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) logged from a single research vessel.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2015-10-27 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
