Underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile and time series data col

NOAA Ship Pisces collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2017-04-11 to 2017-06-17. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data, logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System, to the National Centers for Environmental Information. Supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log is also included, archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling sea surface temperature and atmospheric conditions based on underway physical and meteorological data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental sampling routes based on logged navigational data.
• Studying temporal variability in oceanographic parameters based on the described time series data.
• Correlating optical water properties with physical profile data collected during the cruise.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 68-day period from April to June 2017, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) from a single research cruise.
• Cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log provides supplementary context for the underway measurements.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2017-06-17 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
