The June 2018 mooring was deployed on cruise JC165.

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. 
There were problems with the data from several of the Met sensors and so air temperature, humidity and wave parameters are not reported.

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.

Seafloor (4800 m)

Seafloor samples have been taken at the PAP site for over 20 years. Many methods can only be achieved from research ships but some (time-lapse camera) is autonomous for high resolution long-term sampling.
