Abstract:
Dataset shows measurements made by selected ship sensors on the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer during expeditions
from 2008 to the present time. These cruises were sponsored by NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and
Research. Measurements include ship's position and heading, wind speed and direction, air temperature, etc.
Purpose:
This dataset was compiled in support of NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research in the Digital Atlas
and Okeanos Explorer Atlas.

Supplemental Information:
The measurements were obtained from the onboard Shipboard Computer System (SCS) either directly from the ship
or through the NOAA Shiptracker website. Some of the cruises have hourly observations while others have
multiple readings per hour. Gaps in the observations have also occurred.

Evaluation method description:
The dataset was based on ship's position every hour, sometimes more frequently, for the duration of the
cruise. Some measurements were not available, either because the data for certain instruments were not
provided (first few hours of expedition, time in port, and last few hours of the expedition) or certain
instruments had malfunctioned. Missing or deleted data were represented as blank cells or as the value NA.

Description:
Navigation and sensor readings were received at NCEI about four times per hour during an Okeanos
Explorer expedition and were written to xml documents using an automated script. These observations
were compiled from the xml files and combined into a shapefile. The observation points were compared
with hourly data points downloaded from NOAA's Shiptracker to check for discrepancies or gaps. The
Shiptracker data may have been used instead of or in addition to NCEI's xml data to fill in gaps in
data coverage.
