NCEI Accession 0176436 contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile and time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System aboard NOAA Ship Pisces. The data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2018-08-05 to 2018-10-06 and submitted by the NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations. 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 conditions based on underway meteorological data.
- Analyzing ship navigation and track patterns in the Gulf of Mexico.
- Studying optical water properties for ocean color research.
- Creating time series of physical oceanographic profiles.
Strengths
- Data collection spans a two-month period from 2018-08-05 to 2018-10-06.
- Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
