NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter Underway Data from the North Atlantic Ocean, May-June 2017

NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the North Atlantic Ocean from May 16 to June 7, 2017. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System, along with cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated process.

Use Cases

• Study ship navigation patterns and oceanographic profiles based on the navigational and physical data mentioned in the description
• Model time series of oceanographic variables based on the time series data mentioned in the description
• Correlate optical measurements with physical oceanographic conditions based on the optical data mentioned in the description

Strengths

• Data collection covers a specific 23-day period from 2017-05-16 to 2017-06 07
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL)

Limitations

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