This dataset contains raw underway biological, meteorological, navigational, optical, physical, and time series data logged by the Scientific Computer System (SCS) aboard NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, and South Pacific Ocean from 2018-09-09 to 2018-10-24. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel aboard the ship submitted these data and associated metadata to NCEI. In addition, this dataset contains supplementary cruise-level metadata, which OMAO personnel logged in the Ship Daily Activity Log (SDAL). OMAO and NCEI personnel developed the automated process to archive these data under the auspices of the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository (NOAA R2R) program.
