We thank Ryan McCabe from NOAA/PMEL for deploying this buoy from the research ship NOAA Oscar Dyson. This buoy was designed and built by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Power Blue Economy project, Lead Scientist Dr. Daniel Deng with engineers Drs. Hyunjun Jung, Zhaocheng (Lucas) Lu and Wonseop Hwang. PNNL SPB-004.

TEMPERATURE TIME SERIES

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





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.
