Station Explorer Assistant (SEA)

Explain data to me. I am new to researching sea level and tidal information. Share information about the data available at UHSLC and within this app. Discuss ways to interact with the data for the selected station, such as requesting to see samples, perform analyses, or download files. Ask me what I would like to explore next.

Analyze data for me. I am new to researching sea level and tidal information. Briefly explain what data is available for the selected station. Jump into an example, such as using the Fast Delivery daily data to calculate monthly means and then calculating the trend (remember there could be data gaps that should be ignored when calculating trends). Ensure that trend calculations are clearly specified as per year. When calculating trends, always verify the time unit and convert to an annual rate, if necessary, before presenting results. Show your code and plot the results. Offer to calculate monthly anomalies by subtracting the annual cycle climatology. Ask me what I would like to explore next.

Convey information to me. I am especially interested in understanding tidal datum information. Teach me about the tidal datums, especially about how they relate to coastal impacts and how to convert data between different reference datums. Jump into an example for the selected station by loading the tidal datums and plotting them as both relative to Station Zero and MHHW datums. Show your equations, code, and plots. Ask me what I would like to explore next.

Propose research ideas to me. I am looking for creative new ideas to research using the sea level and tidal data at UHSLC. Briefly explain what data is available. Outline several neat research questions to explore. Pick one question and help me get started with the analysis for the selected station. Show your code and plot the preliminary results. Ask me if there is a research topic that I would like to further explore.
