Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

NOAA Global Drifter Program quality-controlled 6-hour interpolated data from ocean drifters initially deployed during 2021, containing observations from 2021-01-03 to 2024-01-18 (NCEI Accession 0292224)

Preview graphic

This dataset includes sea surface temperature and current data collected by satellite-tracked surface drifting buoys ("drifters") for the NOAA Global Drifter Program. The Drifter Data Assembly Center (DAC) at Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) has applied quality control procedures to edit these data (position and temperature) and interpolated them to 6-hour intervals using an optimum interpolation procedure. The data include positions (latitude and longitude), sea surface temperatures, and velocities (eastward, northward) with accompanying error estimates. Metadata include identification numbers, experiment number, start location and time, end location and time, drogue loss date, death code, manufacturer, and drifter type.

Supplemental Information	In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number.
Purpose	The primary goal of the GDP is to establish a global array of drifters with drifters present in each 5 x 5 degree grid of open ocean and to provide these data in near-real time for weather prediction and ocean state estimation. The Global Drifter Program is also tasked with providing quality controlled data for scientific use.
