Georges Bank long-term drifter data, 1995-1999, GLOBEC
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Satellite tracked drifters with holey sock drogues centered at 10 and 40m depths were deployed during 1995-99 to monitor the seasonal patterns of near-surface circulation over Georges Bank and adjacent areas.
Description
Approximately 248 drifters where deployed by the GLOBEC program. Those drifters with identifications starting with a "g" were generally deployed in US territorial waters and those with an "n" deployed in Canadian waters by the Bedford Institute of Oceanography.
The drifters transmitted location, temperature, drogue tension, and battery status typically 6-8 times per day via ARGOS. Surface circulation over the greater Georges Bank region can seen in monthly single images or as annual movies of animated drifter plots (see Related URLs).
