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.

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. Result: unknown Report: Conceptual consistency: Measure description: No logical inconsistencies Result: unknown Report: Non quantitative attribute accuracy: Measure description: Unknown Result: inapplicable Lineage: Lineage: Process step: Process step: 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.
