NOAA Ship Oregon II Underway Meteorological and Oceanographic Data from 2019

From July 26 to October 2, 2019, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data were logged aboard the NOAA Ship Oregon II in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere heat and gas exchange based on underway meteorological and physical data
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on logged navigational and optical data
• Studying temporal variability in marine conditions based on the time series data mentioned in the description
• Correlating cruise-level activities with environmental measurements based on the Ship Daily Activity Log metadata

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 69-day cruise from 2019-07-26 to 2019-10-02
• 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 automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last updated 2019-10-02; freshness should be verified for current applications
