Model Comparison
Real-time data vs model forecasts
Real-time data from the currently deployed mooring is transmitted back to land through Argos satellite telemetry. Two redundant systems on the mooring send hourly averages of the raw in-situ data. These data are subjected to minimal quality control, consisting of removal of outliers; no bias or drift correction is made. A daily moving average is computed from the telemetered data for display purposes.
