Are you keeping ALL AIS data, or all data for the SF Bay area? Curious if there are some fun research opportunities with that data.

I just recorded everything. There are some gaps, but I have something like 3 years at 50 million AIS lines per day. I keep 90 days locally, and then throw the rest in S3.

I should say this isn't all AIS data, just all that comes through this particular network of receivers. For truly global coverage, there are satellite AIS receivers, but I don't have access to that.
