To use the data map, select one ship from the menu. Then, using the drop-down menus, select a start and end year, month, and day, preferably in that order as the month (day) ranges will dynamically change based on your selection of year (month). The mapping tool relies on the intermediate version of the SAMOS data which is processed on a 10-day delay from the observation date, so please keep this in mind when selecting your end date range. A maximum of 16 ships can be displayed on the map at a single time. Please
contact us if you have any questions.
