Updated Apr 16 2024

DATA DISPLAY AND INFORMATION LINKS
MARACOOS NETWORK STATUS Shows whether Rutgers has the latest radial data. It does not give information about whether National Network has the files. Includes links to site radial web servers.  
NATIONAL NETWORK PATTERN TYPES Station listing that indicates which beam pattern type is currently in use for National Network totals.
SITE OUTAGE DATABASE Operator website for reporting site outages.
RADIAL AVERAGE MAPS (LATEST)
ARCHIVED MAPS
Average velocities over the past 25 hours denoted by color and standard deviations shown by circle size
RADIAL COVERAGE MAPS (LATEST)
ARCHIVED MAPS
Radial distribution plots for the past 25 hours of data.
QC PLOTS Graphs showing percentage of radials that passed QC flag tests.
QC TEST FLAGS Percentage of radials that passed individual QC flag tests for each station.
KLDI METRIC PLOTS Time series of KLDI metric for each station.
DIAGNOSTICS VIEWER Interactive station diagnostic plots (Jan 2017 - Dec 2022)
REGIONAL RADIAL LATENCY Radial latency. (Not working!)
TOTAL CURRENT PRODUCT COMPARISON Compares the three different total vector products that are provided to different users.
RUTGERS SURFACE CURRENT VIEWER New map viewer that shows various MARACOOS and HFRNet products.
TOTAL VECTOR COVERAGE Latest 25 hours for long range systems
ERDDAP PLOTS Latest plots of total vectors, U and V velocity, U and V errors, and number of radials for the 6km product. (Needs to be updated to work with newest totals dataset!)
ERDDAP DATA ACCESS Access to HFR surface current and wave data hosted at Rutgers University
BASELINE/SYNTHETIC RADIAL COMPARISONS Baseline and synthetic radial comparisons provided by Brian Emery at UCSB. (Not working!)

OUTDATED INFORMATION
