NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Oceanographic and Meteorological Data from 2017

North Atlantic Ocean data collected aboard NOAA Ship Pisces from July 8 to August 14, 2017. The dataset contains raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System (SCS). Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel submitted the data and associated metadata to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on the described meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns and environmental conditions based on the navigational and optical data.
• Creating time series profiles of oceanographic variables based on the described profile and time series data.
• Calibrating remote sensing instruments using the in-situ optical and physical measurements mentioned.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 38-day voyage in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2017-07-08 to 2017-08 14.
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series) logged from a single platform.
• Contains supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2017-08-14 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
