NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Meteorological and Oceanographic Data from July-August 2019

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 2019-07-30 to 2019-08 13. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel aboard the ship submitted the data and metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information. The data were archived through an automated process under 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 influence on local oceanographic readings based on navigational and profile data
• Calibrating remote sensing instruments using in-situ optical and physical time series data
• Studying short-term marine weather patterns in the Gulf of Mexico based on the time series and location

Strengths

• Data spans a specific 15-day cruise from July 30 to August 13, 2019
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series
• Collected through a formal NOAA program (R2R) with automated archival processes

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last updated 2019-08-13 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
