Drifter track data from drifters deployed on multiple R/V Endeavor, Albatross IV, Oceanus, Delaware, Cape Hatteras, Parizeau, and CCGS Cygnus cruises in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank from 1995-1999. Satellite-tracked drifters with holey sock drogues centered at 10, 15 and 40-m depths were deployed over Georges Bank during 1995-99 in support of the U.S. GLOBEC/Georges Bank Program.

Multi-iteration approach to studying tracer spreading using drifter data
Rypina, Irina I.; Fertitta, David; Macdonald, Alison M.; Yoshida, Sachiko; Jayne, Steven R. (American Meteorological Society, 2017-01-31)A novel multi-iteration statistical method for studying tracer spreading using drifter data is introduced. The approach allows for the best use of the available drifter data by making use of a simple iterative procedure, ... -
Global distribution of the decay timescale of mixed layer inertial motions observed by satellite-tracked drifters
Park, Jong Jin; Kim, Kuh; Schmitt, Raymond W. (American Geophysical Union, 2009-11-05)The decay timescale of mixed layer inertial amplitudes has been estimated from satellite tracked drifter trajectories from 1990 to 2004 as the e-folding timescale of the temporal correlation functions. The decay timescales ... -
Caribbean Current and eddies as observed by surface drifters
Richardson, Philip L. (2004-11-29)Recent satellite-tracked surface drifter trajectories were analyzed to describe the mean currents and eddies in the Caribbean Sea. The structure of the Caribbean Current and its variability were determined from high-resolution ...
