NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Meteorological and Oceanographic Data from May 2018

NOAA Ship Pisces collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2018-05-12 to 2018-05 24. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel aboard the ship submitted these data and associated 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 interactions based on underway meteorological and physical data.
• Analyzing ship navigation patterns in the North Atlantic based on logged navigational data.
• Studying optical properties of seawater based on optical data mentioned in the description.
• Creating time series visualizations of environmental conditions from the time series data.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a 13-day period from May 12 to May 24, 2018.
• Includes multiple data types: meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series.
• Data and metadata were submitted by personnel aboard the NOAA ship and archived via an automated NOAA program.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2018-05-24 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
