NOAA Ship David Starr Jordan Underway Physical and Meteorological Data, 2000

Conductivity, temperature, salinity, pressure, and other data were collected from NOAA Ship DAVID STARR JORDAN from April 6, 2000 to December 9, 2000. Data were submitted by the ship's Commanding Officer and the Office of NOAA Corps Operations as part of the NOAA Shipboard Sensor Data Acquisition project. Measurements were taken using meteorological sensors and a thermosalinograph in the North Pacific Ocean.

Use Cases

• Modeling sea surface temperature and salinity patterns based on thermosalinograph data.
• Analyzing atmospheric conditions at sea based on meteorological sensor readings.
• Calibrating satellite-derived oceanographic data with in-situ ship-based measurements.
• Studying seasonal oceanographic variability in the North Pacific based on the 2000 time range.

Strengths

• Data collected over an 8-month period from April to December 2000.
• Includes multiple physical oceanographic variables (conductivity, temperature, salinity, pressure).
• Collected via a dedicated NOAA project (NSSDAC) using shipboard sensors.

Limitations

• Last updated 2000-12-09 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.
