NOAA Ship Oregon II Underway Meteorological and Oceanographic Data from 2015

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 2015-07-25 to 2015-09-27. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log. The NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program automated the archival process for this accession.

Use Cases

• Modeling marine weather patterns based on underway meteorological data.
• Analyzing oceanographic profiles based on physical and optical data.
• Studying ship navigation and its environmental context based on navigational and time series data.
• Correlating cruise activities with sensor readings based on supplementary cruise-level metadata.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 2-month cruise from July to September 2015.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Contains supplementary operational metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2015-09-27 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
