Georges Bank long-term drifter data, 1995-1999, GLOBEC
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. 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.
