Description
NOAA Ship Oregon II collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the Gulf of Mexico from June 7 to July 17, 2015. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.
Use Cases
Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on underway meteorological and physical data.
Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on navigational and optical data.
Creating time series profiles of oceanographic variables based on profile and time series data.
Correlating cruise-level operational metadata with scientific measurements based on Ship Daily Activity Log entries.
Strengths
Data collection spans a specific 41-day cruise in 2015, providing a continuous temporal snapshot.
Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) logged from a single platform.
Contains supplementary operational metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
