Files
Temperature
- Temperature in °C.
- Importance of the gradients to determine possible fishing fronts.
Plancton
- Concentration of Chlorophyll (Phytoplankton) in mg/m3.
- Importance of the gradients to determine possible fishing fronts.
Salinity
- Measured in Practical Salinity Units (PSU).
- Related to the temperature in the generation of convective currents by density differences.
Altimetry
- Measured in meters.
- Importance when setting the buoys and to determine possible fishing fronts.
- It is the ellipsoidal height of a point of the sea surface averaged over a long period of time.
Hot Tuna Points maps
- Higher fishing probability areas.
Oceanographic data (by buoy)
- Information in the water column at different depths: temperature, currents in depth and shear.
- It helps to decide in advance if going to a fishing area or not, in case the currents are strong and there is probability of breaking the fishing net.
- The forecast can be configured 1, 2 or 3 days in advance.
