Scatter Plots


Scatter plots of the hour-averaged and low-passed currents (subsampled by 6) visually show the distribution of the current speed and direction. Superimposed on the scatter plots are the mean vector current over the entire deployment, and the principal axes of the currents, shown as an ellipse.

Scatter plots of east and north current for hour-averaged and low-passed current observations near the bottom from

BASS or MAVS sensor: The hour-averaged scatter plots include all data points. The low-passed scatter plots are subsampled by 6. The principal current ellipse is superimposed. At Stations A, B, and D, two BASS sensors recorded data at different depths (both are included); at Stations C and E, only one MAVS sensor was deployed.

Scatter plots of east and north current for hour-averaged and low-passed ADCP observations at 5 meters below the surface and from the deepest depth bin available: The hour-averaged scatter plots include all data points. The low-passed scatter plots are subsampled by 6. The principal current ellipse is superimposed.
