In April 2008 the ANIMATE network Observatories became part of the EuroSITES European Ocean Observatory Network.
Data shown here and subsequent data are available through the EuroSITES website www.eurosites.info
The ANIMATE site will not be updated further.

- October 2003 Deployment
     

 

The following graphs have been produced using the complete data set collected so far with the satellite system. Data from other sources have also been incorporated. The DOLAN project is sited only a few kilometers from the ESTOC site and they have allowed ANIMATE to show their weather data.
The temperature and salinity data from a microcat attached to the ANIMATE sensor package deployed at the DOLAN site is also included in the graphs below.
Click on any small image to see the full size graph.

The conductivity data at various depths and times have been marked as dubious by the quality control system and have been excluded from the graphs below.

The NCEP/NCAR CDAS/Reanalysis Project makes a great deal of data available on the web. Some of those data are plotted here.
