The graphs below are generated in near-real time from data transmitted via satellite from the PAP-1 buoy. Click on any image to see a larger version. These data have had some simple quality control measures applied in an attempt to remove spikes and invalid data. In some cases additional calibrations have been applied to the biogeochemical sensor data. The raw data can be accessed via the NOC anonymous FTP server. If this link does not work directly, please use an ftp application to connect to server ftp.noc.soton.ac.uk (user anonymous) then navigate to /animate/pap/PAP_2024_deploy.

Please note - data are only being received from the surface instruments. Instruments mounted on the frame at 30m should be recording data internally that will be recovered when the mooring is next serviced.

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.


We are also starting to make these data available through the BODC ERDDAP service. To see the full time series, make sure to set the 'start time' to the earliest possible date (by default only the latest data are shown).
