The first graph looks like a Flow waveform. "Flow" is the estimated rate of air entering (positive Flow) and exiting (negative Flow) our lungs. The Flow has units of volume per unit time (for example mL per sec).
The second graph looks like what ResMed names the High Rate Pressure (SleepyHead names this the "Mask Pressure") waveform, which is the estimated pressure in our mask.
They are both from the Flow rate graph from one night.
Here it is expanded
