UpTempO 2015 #1 Healy - Deceased
Made by Pacific Gyre
Iridium ID # (IMEI = International Mobile Equipment Identity): 300234062958970
ocean temperature at nominal depths (m): 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25
ocean salinity at nominal depths (m): 4
ocean pressure depths (m): 25
This buoy was deployed in wide open water on July 11th, 2015 @ 01:45 UTC via the Ice Breaker Healy. The air temperature was 2.5C, wind speed 15.6 kts at 70 degrees, with a cloud fraction of about 25%, and about 2m of ocean swell.

SUMMARY
The plot below shows the path of UpTempO 2015 #1 Healy 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 dashed line shows the temperature reported by a CTD sensor at 4m, nominal.

The temperature time series for each thermistor is shown below, plotted against day of the year or date.The dashed line shows the temperature reported by a CTD sensor at 4m, nominal.


SALINITY TIME SERIES
Salinity reported by a CTD sensor at a nominal.
WIND TIME SERIES
The blue line shows wind speed (m/s) against the y-axis. Wind direction and magnitude are shown by the black vectors, which indicate the direction that the wind is coming from. Up is north.
OCEAN PRESSURE AND SEA LEVEL PRESSURE
This plot shows the ocean pressure(s) from the barometers placed at nominal depths (left axis), and sea level pressure in red (right axis).
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.
