• Time series information for all these virtual
  stations is available, from all forecasts, as a
  standard product
• Go to http//rdfs.stccmop.org/forecast/schannel
• On the left bar, go to the forecast that you
  want, and select Products
• Choose a date ( if products for the forecast are
  not available for today, use yesterday as a
  reference you will have to mentally adjust the
  time, because the tidal day is 24.8h)
• Move down ion the page, until you find the
  virtual stations, and choose your target
  station. Multiple small images will show up.
• Click on the image that you want to see enlarged.

In the next slides, see examples (salinity and
velocities) for eleu1. Based on the vessel data,
one forecast should be better than the others.
