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

From March 11 to April 28, 2014, raw underway meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series, and trawl data were logged aboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter in the North Atlantic Ocean. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel submitted the data and associated metadata to NODC as part of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.

Use Cases

• Correlating meteorological conditions with oceanographic profiles based on the described underway physical data.
• Analyzing vessel navigation patterns in relation to trawl sampling events based on the logged navigational and trawl data.
• Building time-series models of optical water properties based on the described optical data streams.
• Validating automated data archiving pipelines for ship-based scientific systems based on the NOAA R2R program metadata.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 49-day period from 2014-03-11 to 2014-04 28.
• Includes multiple data types (meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, profile, time series, trawl) logged from a single research vessel.
• 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 2014-04-28 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
