Click on the graph icons on the previous page to see time series plots of the listed variables. The Most Recent Data Plot goes back 4 days. Depending upon system load, these plots may be as much as four hours behind the most recent observation (usually it's within two hours). The Full Deployment Plot will give you the entire time series plot for this particular deployment, e.g. for E0102 only, whereas the Full Historical Plot gives the time series for the full series of buoys at that location, e.g. buoys E0101, E0102, E0103 ad infinitum.

Try Make My Own to generate y our own data plots. But.... please this should be used only for very general data exploration, NOT as a scientific an alysis tool. The geophysical parameters structurally differ way too much from each other to allow for general plotting routines.

All plots are in GMT, not local time. 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" plot s 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. Plots of the subsurface eastward and northward current data are not presently avaiable. See the measured and residual ocean current plots at the bottom of the previous plots for plots of subsurface currents.

We follow the convention that depth is measure positive "down". That's why parameters like wind speed have negative depths attached to them!
