17 meters on the Lake Michigan - East Shore chain. Each column takes the nearest reading within 25 minutes of it; hatching means that meter sent nothing, which is a different fact from a calm one. Nothing is modelled and nothing is filled in between meters. 4 meters sent nothing across the whole window, and 2 meters on this coast are permanently offline and absent from the picture entirely — we would rather show the hole than paint over it.
