NCEI Accession 0189576 contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Oregon II. The data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico from 2019-04 26 to 2019-05-24 and submitted to NCEI by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on the meteorological and physical data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on the navigational and optical data
• Studying temporal variability in marine systems based on the time series and profile data

Strengths

• Data collection spans a continuous 29-day period from April 26 to May 24, 2019
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) logged by an integrated Scientific Computer System
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
