(4) Start & end windows — first / last 6 h

Left panel = first 7 h (1 h lead-in + 6 h of record) | Right panel = last 7 h (6 h of record + 1 h tail). ││ orange dashed = auto-detected (pressure-based) suggested deploy/recover time • ││ green dashed = YAML deployment_time / recovery_time • ││ grey = stage 1 raw record (same variable, same units).

Reading the grey background: where the raw stage 1 record is available and uses the same physical units as the stage 2/3 data, it is shown in light grey so you can visually verify that the chosen deployment window captures the in-water period. Cases where grey may be absent:

Sensors without their own pressure (e.g. a microCAT that relies on interpolated pressure from a nearby instrument) — interpolated pressure is only added at stage 3, so stage 1 has no pressure variable and no grey trace appears.
Velocity in beam or XYZ coordinates — if an Aquadopp or ADCP was configured to record in BEAM or XYZ mode, the stage 1 file contains beam/XYZ velocity variables while stage 3 stores ENU velocities; the variable names differ so no grey velocity trace is shown.
Conductivity — raw conductivity units sometimes differ between stage 1 and stage 3 (e.g. mS/cm vs S/m) and the grey trace is suppressed automatically to avoid a misleading scale mismatch.

If the orange vline is absent from the right-hand panel, no pressure-based recovery transition was detected in the final 25 % of the stage 1 record — the suggested recovery time equals the last raw sample. Check the timing table in the mooring summary report for the suggested UTC time.

(5) Current rose diagrams

ENU panels split by QARTOD flag: good (flag ≤ 2, Blues), suspect (flag 3, Oranges), fail (flag 4, Reds). Direction toward which the current flows; 0° = N, clockwise.

(6) Particle trajectory

Pseudo-Lagrangian displacement obtained by integrating east/north velocity over time (Euler forward; NaN velocities set to zero). Coloured by temperature. Origin (0, 0) = deployment position; axes in metres.
