NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Meteorological and Oceanographic Data from October 2016

North Atlantic Ocean data collected aboard NOAA Ship Pisces from 2016-10-04 to 2016-10 13. The dataset contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data and supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Use Cases

• Correlating meteorological conditions with oceanographic profiles based on the described physical and profile data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental sensor readings based on the navigational and underway data.
• Validating time series models of oceanographic phenomena using the logged time series data.
• Studying automated data collection and archival processes for research vessels based on the NOAA R2R program description.

Strengths

• Data spans a specific 10-day period from 2016-10-04 to 2016-10-13.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.
• Archived through an automated process under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2016-10-13 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
