Sensor Information (this deployment only)


Latest Conditions:

If we have deployed just recently, then a plot may not be available. "Recent" plots are available within a few hours, and "Deployment" and "Historical" plots within a day. There may be a gap in the historical data for the previous deployment. The gap is filled as soon as post recovery operations are complete.

We follow the convention that depth is measure positive "down". That's why parameters like wind speed have negative depths attached to them! The latest eastward and northward subsurface currents are displayed at a subset of available depths; no plots are presently available for current velocity vectors below 2m.
