Sunshine, I am wondering about the large gap between NH 2014 and 2015 extent in the charts above. The gap is not so great in MASIE, nor in DMI

sunshine, thanks for responding. I now know that this is NOAA output. The page you linked to reminds me of what the IT dept. would send back when we asked them why the numbers didn’t make sense anymore. Do you know if 2014 is different than it used to be?
