NOAA Ship Oregon II Underway Meteorological and Oceanographic Data from May 2014

NOAA Ship Oregon II collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2014-05-04 to 2014-05-31. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata to the National Oceanographic Data Center. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository automated process.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on underway meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns in relation to environmental conditions based on navigational logs.
• Studying temporal environmental changes based on the time series data mentioned in the description.
• Correlating optical measurements with physical oceanographic profiles from the cruise.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 28-day period from 2014-05-04 to 2014-05-31.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Archived through an established NOAA program (Rolling Deck to Repository).

Limitations

• Last updated 2014-05-31 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
