This code is designed to visualize both surface waves and the vertical structure of underwater temperature data. This code was specifically designed to be used with data collected using the Lake Michigan Buoy owned and operated by Purdue University and Illinois-Indiana SeaGrant (NDBC Station 45170). You are given the option to save the animation as a .gif image.
Measurement times (DOY),temperature (TEMP), temperature measurement depths (DEPTH), wave height (WAVEHT), wave period (WAVEPER), and wave direction (WAVEDIR) are required as inputs. All other inputs have defaults that are based on NDBC Station 45170 data.
