1. Initial testing: check glider surface current vs transport:
   1. (Early work on main glider page: Can surface ug indicate transport?)
   2. Raw values
   3. Overlay 5-month triangle
   4. Annual cycles
   5. First cut interannual anomalies
   6. Fit annual Int(sfc current)ds to match transport RMS: scale depth of 261m
   7. See more (and more recent) transport and sfc transport timeseries
   8. Glider transport, surface crosstrack, and Aviso coast-to-coast time series estimates

2. Aviso comparisons:
   1. Maps:
      1. Map showing selected Solomon Sea region from Aviso
      2. Aviso annual cycle:  RMS     Amp/phase
      3. Another version (RMS)
      4. Annual RMS
      5. Interannual RMS
   2. Aviso interannual time series:  All Colored by latitude
   3. Interannual anomalies
   4. Annual cycle

3. Further Aviso comparisons and surface "transport":
   1. Surface transport estimate statistics, chopped various distances from coastal ends: 
      Total transport:  RMS     Correlation
      Surface estimate:  RMS     Correlation
   2. Time series of transport and surface glider v, Aviso vg, compare Nino3.4:
      1. Maps for Aviso region selection (shade RMS):  Unfiltered    Annual cycle    Interannual
      2. Glider, surface, Aviso time series:  Raw     151-day triangle     Annual     Interannual
      3. Interannual time series fill-between:  Show correlation with glider     Show lag correlation with Nino3.4

1. Aviso SLA and glider DH:
   1. Scatter diagrams:  Unfiltered     Annual cycle anomalies
   2. Time series overlays (DH and SLA):  Unfiltered     Anomalies from annual cycle     Annual cycle
   3. Various ways to show Aviso sampled on glider tracks:
      1. Mission numbers
      2. Aviso sampled by yearday, colored by phi
      3. Aviso annual cycle sampled by yearday, colored by phi     the opposite: sampled by phi, colored by yearday
      4. Frequency bands of glider-sampled Aviso SLA:  Bandpass vs total-interannual-seasonal     Bandpass vs everything (interann+ann_bandpass)
