Surface Current and Meteorological Data from Drifting Buoys (F156)
Entry ID:
FW00221
Summary
Abstract:
This data type contains time series ocean circulation data determined by
tracking the movement of drifting buoys, drogues or other instrumented devices. Movement is reported as point-to-point geographic locations determined by shore-based, surface ship, aircraft or satellite observations. Data from both ocean currents and sea ice movement can be reported in this format over time periods ranging ...
