Description
Raw underway data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Pisces during a 2015 cruise. The dataset includes meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data collected in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from May 12 to June 10, 2015. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and associated metadata to NODC as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.
Use Cases
Modeling ocean-atmosphere heat and gas exchange based on underway meteorological and physical data.
Analyzing ship-track oceanographic profiles for water column structure.
Studying temporal variability of marine conditions based on time series data.
Correlating navigational data with optical measurements for spatial analysis.
Strengths
Data collection spans a specific 30-day period from 2015-05-12 to 2015-06-10.
Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) from a single cruise.
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 2015-06-10; freshness should be verified.
