NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette Underway Data in the North Pacific Ocean, April 2015

NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the North Pacific Ocean from 2015-04-03 to 2015-04-15. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and metadata to NODC via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program. The dataset also includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Analyze meteorological conditions at sea based on the described meteorological data.
• Study oceanographic profiles based on the described physical and profile data.
• Model ship navigation patterns based on the described navigational data.
• Investigate optical properties of seawater based on the described optical data.
• Conduct time series analysis of environmental variables based on the described time series data.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 13-day cruise in April 2015, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) from a single source.
• Data and metadata were submitted via the established NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Limitations

• Last updated 2015-04-15 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
