Nortek Profiler Daily Currents Plot

A specialized colour image plot to view daily currents of Nortek Profilers on fixed-position platforms is available. There are plots for the Eastward, Northward and Up (ENU) directions (corresponding to True North). When available, the bin-mean amplitude is included. Basic metadata information is also included. For the data used to generate these plots, refer to the Nortek Profiler Time Series data products.

Data gaps are indicated by grey regions. There is one plot per day, unless the configuration has changed. If the user has only requested a subset of the day, only that subset will be plotted.
