NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Oceanographic Data from the North Pacific, 2015

NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea from 2015-04-20 to 2015-06-05. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System to the National Oceanographic Data Center. The data were archived through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program and include supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere heat and gas exchange based on underway meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship track navigation and environmental conditions based on navigational and optical data.
• Studying vertical ocean properties based on profile data mentioned in the description.
• Conducting time series analysis of oceanographic variables during the cruise period.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a 47-day cruise from April to June 2015.
• Includes multiple data streams: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, and profile.
• Cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log provides operational context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2015-06-05; freshness should be verified for current applications.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
