NOAA Ship Pisces Underway Oceanographic and Meteorological Data from June-July 2019

NOAA Ship Pisces collected raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and time series data in the North Atlantic Ocean during a 33-day cruise from June 28 to July 30, 2019. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel submitted the data, which was logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System and archived via the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program. The dataset includes 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 their relationship to environmental measurements based on the navigational and time series data.
• Validating optical sensor readings against concurrent physical measurements in a marine environment.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 33-day cruise from 2019-06-28 to 2019-07-30, providing a continuous time series.
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile) logged from a single platform.
• Archived through an established 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 2019-07-30; freshness should be verified for current applications.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
