This buoy was deployed as part of NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory's "Arctic AIR" project. Thanks very much to Jiaxu Zhang for this deployment opportunity. MicroSWIFT #108.
Sensor Details
This buoy also measures ocean surface wave parameters.
Graphics below have been updated to show Level 2 data.
SUMMARY
The plot below shows the path of UpTempO 2024 #8 NOAA Twin Otter colored by month. The flag marks the buoy's last known location. Black contours show two isobaths: 28 m ("short buoy" max depth: e.g., 2011 APLIS buoy) and 60 m ("standard buoy"
max depth).

The temperature time series for each thermistor is shown below, plotted against day of the year or date.

SALINITY TIME SERIES
This plot shows salinity time series data at nominal depth(s).
BATTERY VOLTAGE/SUBMERGENCE PERCENT
The percent of the time that the buoy spent submerged is plotted in black, while battery voltage is shown in red.
Derived Quantities
VELOCITY TIME SERIES
One to three hourly velocity is on the left axis.Distance between the buoy's start point and end point each day is shown in red on the right axis.Note that the total displacement of the buoy each day (red) is generally less than what one would calculate from the hourly velocities.
