Project Overview

This project analyzes the seawater intake temperature data from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The goal is to understand temperature trends and their potential impact on marine life.

Data

The dataset includes daily temperature readings from the seawater intake system at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The data spans multiple years and is stored in a CSV file.

Installation

To run the analysis, you will need to install the following dependencies:

pip install pandas matplotlib

Usage

To perform the analysis, you will first need to download the data from the CeNCOOS ERDDAP server.

Download Data

./src/download_data.sh

Generate Figures

python analyze_temperature.py

Results

The results of the analysis will be saved in the results directory, including plots. Two plots are generate. First a timeseries of sea water temeperature with a 40 hour 'hann' low pass filter applied. Second, a scatter plot of temperature and dissolved oxygen saturation.
