The first deployment of moorings for ANIMATE at CIS was made by the Research Vessel Poseidon on the 21st August 2002.

The telemetry mooring stopped sending data on 7th February 2003 and became adrift late on 17th February 2003.

The data received via satellite during this deployment are shown in the graphs below. Click on the small image to see the full size graph.

Reanalysis The NCEP/NCAR CDAS/Reananysis Project makes a great deal of data available on the web. Some of those data are plotted here.

Temperature: plotted from data	Resuls from GOTM	Heat Budget Calculations by Johannes Karstensen A 1-d mixed layer model (General Ocean Turbulence Model - GOTM) was driven with surface flux data from an atmospheric model (here: NCEP/NCAR reanalysis) using an initial stratification. Comparison of the mixed layer model results with the telemetry temperature and salinity data allows the local versus advected signals to be separated in near real time. Further refinement of the model/data comparison will be achieved through incorporating other data sources such as from ARGO floats near the mooring site. In the future this may allow the monitoring of heat fluxes.
