The AAWU is changing systems within our operations and we need to move and modernize these plots. We are trying to keep many aspects the same as to not change this service, but we are using different software and have the ability to make improvements, such as more charts and decisions about which obs to plot when two or more overlap spatially. If you have comments or suggestions about these, let us know by emailing our web author. The legacy charts are still being made and published above these new charts, but will be discontinued on August 14, 2025.
