Underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile and time series data col

NOAA Ship Oregon II collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the Gulf of Mexico from October 23 to November 20, 2016. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The accession also includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log, archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Analyze meteorological trends based on underway meteorological data mentioned in the description
• Model oceanographic profiles based on physical and profile data mentioned in the description
• Correlate ship navigation with environmental observations based on navigational data mentioned in the description
• Study time-series patterns in the Gulf of Mexico based on time series data mentioned in the description

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 29-day cruise in the Gulf of Mexico from 2016-10-23 to 2016-11-20
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last updated 2016-11-20 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single ship cruise
