NOAA Ship Oregon II Underway Data from the Gulf of Mexico, October-November 2015

NOAA Ship Oregon II collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the Gulf of Mexico from 2015-10-08 to 2015-11-21. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and metadata to the National Oceanographic Data Center. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) automated process.

Use Cases

• Modeling sea surface temperature and atmospheric pressure relationships based on underway physical and meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship track navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on logged navigational and optical data.
• Studying temporal oceanographic profiles based on the time series and profile data mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 45-day period from October 8 to November 21, 2015.
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) logged from a single research vessel.
• Data and metadata were submitted and archived through the formal NOAA R2R program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2015 11 21 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
