Where the profiles are
Each dot is one sensor deployment, coloured by year. Drag a lasso to look at part of the area.
Depth × time
Annual anomaly: warmer or cooler than usual?
Average difference, in °C, between each year's readings and the normal for that time of year and depth band. The normal is this area's average over the whole record (all years shown), so the years balance around zero: positive years were warmer than the area's average, negative years cooler. Number of deployments in brackets.
About the data
Temperature and depth from Mangōpare / Moana TD sensors fitted to commercial fishing gear, quality-controlled by MetOcean Solutions (MetService) and served by EMODnet Physics ERDDAP (dataset moanaproject). Only readings flagged good or probably good are used.
