Abstract
The results of multiple deployments of surface drifters in warm core
rings of the Gulf Stream are presented. Four satellite drifters (tracked by
the Argos system) were deployed on nine separate occasions and two LORAN-C
drifters (operated by the University of Miami) were deployed three times.
Drifter studies were conducted during four cruises aboard the R/V Endeavor in
1982 in conjunction with the Warm Core Rings Experiment and one cruise of the
USNS Bartlett in January 1983 which was sponsored by the Office of Naval
Research. Translational velocities and periods of rotation are provided for
two rings: 82B and 82H.
