NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Data in the North Atlantic Ocean, June 2016

NOAA Ship Pisces collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2016-06-08 to 2016-06-25. 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. The data were archived as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on underway meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on navigational and time series data.
• Studying optical properties of seawater based on the optical data mentioned in the description.
• Validating satellite or model data with in-situ profile measurements collected by the ship.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 18-day voyage from June 8 to June 25, 2016.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Data collection follows a documented NOAA R2R program process with cruise-level metadata from a Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

• Last updated 2016-06-25 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
