The Apr 2017 mooring was deployed on cruise DY077.

Below are the graphs generated in near-real time from data gathered at PAP and transmitted via iridium servers.

Other data were collected at the site but were not transmitted in near-real time. Click on an image to see a larger version.

After recovery, data are archived at the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) and can be accessed at: BODC PAP Collection. Please use the search term Porcupine or #5192 to find our data.
