SWIFT data

The main page for the Surface Wave Instrument Float with Tracking is apl.uw.edu/swift

Telemetry data
Telemetry formats and automation are documented at SWIFT_telemetry_access.pdf

A live map with any buoys reporting within the last 3 hours is at swiftserver.apl.uw.edu/map, and this kml file also has all buoys reporting in the last 3 hours.

A dashboard with microSWIFT data display is at https://swiftdashboard.apl.uw.edu.

Select SWIFTs and microSWIFTs can also be viewed in the Backyard Buoys app.

Telemetry data can also be accessed directly in Matlab using pullSWIFTtelemetry.m or in Python with this package (presently microSWIFTs only).

Manual telemetry queries for simple position and time data are URLs generated from this form

ID: (examples: SWIFT 09, microSWIFT 007)
start datetime: (UTC, 24-hour format) or use:
end datetime: (UTC, 24-hour format) or use:
data type: (kml is Google Earth, json is simple text)
Manual telemetry queries for full binary 'sbd' data from all sensor payloads are URLs generated from this form

ID: (examples: SWIFT 09, microSWIFT 007)
start datetime: or use: (UTC, 24-hour format)
end datetime: or use: (UTC, 24-hour format)

List of all buoy names and IMEI modem numbers active in the last 30 days.

Query for specific IMEI modem number (instead of buoy name) in the last 30 days
IMEI: (example: 300434067057070)


Archival data

Description of variables is in the readme file.

A master archive of microSWIFT data is at https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.jdfn2z3j1

A master archive of SWIFT data is intended... someday.
