Description
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 2015-06-11 to 2015-07-14. 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 as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program and include supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
Use Cases
Modeling air-sea heat and gas exchange based on underway meteorological and physical data.
Analyzing ship navigation patterns and ocean currents based on navigational log data.
Calibrating remote sensing optical data with in-situ optical profile measurements.
Studying temporal variability in ocean conditions based on the time series data mentioned.
Strengths
Data collection covers a specific 34-day cruise from June 11 to July 14, 2015.
Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) logged from a single platform.
Cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log provides context for the underway measurements.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
