NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter Underway Data in the North Atlantic Ocean, October-November 2017

From 2017-10-31 to 2017-11 -10, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data were logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter in the North Atlantic Ocean. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and associated metadata to NCEI. The data were archived through an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Analyzing meteorological trends based on the raw underway meteorological data mentioned in the description.
• Studying oceanographic profiles based on the physical and profile data collected.
• Correlating ship navigation with environmental conditions based on the navigational and optical data.
• Conducting time series analysis of oceanographic variables based on the logged time series data.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 11-day voyage from 2017-10-31 to 2017-11-10.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Data were submitted and archived through an established NOAA program (R2R).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2017-11-10 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
