NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Data from the North Atlantic Ocean, July-August 2014

NOAA Ship Pisces collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, and physical data in the North Atlantic Ocean from July 6 to August 2, 2014. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System. The dataset includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log, archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Analyze meteorological conditions at sea based on the described underway meteorological data.
• Study oceanographic profiles based on the described physical and profile data.
• Correlate ship navigation with environmental observations based on the described navigational data.
• Model time-series trends in the North Atlantic based on the described time series data collection.

Strengths

• Data collected over a 28-day continuous voyage in the North Atlantic Ocean.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• 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 2014-08-02 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
