NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter Underway Oceanographic Data from the North Atlantic, 2014

From February 18 to March 9, 2014, raw underway data was collected aboard NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter in the North Atlantic Ocean. The dataset includes meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series, and trawl data logged by the ship's Scientific Computer System (SCS). These data and associated metadata were submitted by Office of Marine and Aviation Operations personnel and archived by NODC under the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean-atmosphere interactions based on the meteorological and physical data mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing marine biological sampling based on the trawl data mentioned in the description.
• Studying vessel navigation patterns based on the navigational data mentioned in the description.
• Correlating optical water properties with physical profiles based on the optical and profile data mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data spans a specific 20-day cruise from 2014-02-18 to 2014-03 09.
• Contains multiple data types including meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series, and trawl.
• Includes supplementary cruise-level metadata from the Ship Daily Activity Log.

Limitations

• Last updated 2014-03-09 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.
