| April 2011 | −0.87 | −159.95 |
| May 2011 | 28.56 | 5252.04 |
| Cumulative flux | (g m−2) after several months | |
| Sum Nov – May (total 7 months) | 79.14 | 14554.01 |
| Sum Dec – March (total 4 months) | 79.60 | 9386.06 |
| Sum Apr – May (total 2 months) | 27.69 | 5092.08 |
Note that data gaps in currents at the site (n = 1014 hrs in Nov., Dec. of 5088 hr record) were filled with currents from instruments located nearby within the canyon bottom (Pod3).
