Data are analyzed from a test buoy equipped with a motion sensor (Hippy) and
two different pyranometers in order to understand and quantify motion induced
errors in meteorological data. The Hippy measures pitch, roll, heave and acceleration
of the buoy. Probability density functions and spectra of buoy motion and insolation
are constructed and discussed.

Environmental data collected from biomimetic and other data loggers located in rocky intertidal zones of global oceans between July 1999 and October 2013
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2017-06-29)At a proximal level, the physiological impacts of global climate change on ectothermic organisms are manifest as changes in body temperatures. Especially for plants and animals exposed to direct solar radiation, body ... -
