The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Drifter track data from drifters deployed on multiple R/V Endeavor, NOAA Ship Albatross IV, Oceanus, Delaware, Cape Hatteras, Parizeau, and CCGS Cygnus cruises in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank from 1995-1999 (GLOBEC) (NCEI Accession 0277426) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains physical data collected on CCGS Cygnus, R/V Albatross IV, R/V Cape Hatteras, R/V Delaware II, R/V Endeavor, R/V Oceanus, and R/V Parizeau during cruises AL9506, AL9508, AL9513, AL9605, AL9607, AL9701, AL9705, AL9707, AL9801, AL9806, AL9808, AL9901, AL9904, AL9906, CH0697, CY98-079, DE9703, EN259, EN261, EN263, EN265, EN274, EN276, EN278, EN282, EN292, EN296, EN320, OC275, OC298, OC300, OC302, OC315, OC316, OC317, OC319, OC322, OC336, OC341, and PAR98-078 from 1995-01-01 to 1999-07-08. These data include water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Drifter Buoy. These data were collected by Dr Richard Limeburner of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank (GB)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Drifter track data from Georges Bank, 1995-1999 Dataset Description: 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.

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: The status of drogue presence is indicated by timing the submergence of the surface float. When the drogue is attached, its drag will cause the surface sphere to submerge occasionally as a wave passes. If the drogue has been lost, the surface sphere remains at the surface and is not buried by waves. When the surface float submerges, contacts on top of the sphere are shorted out by the seawater and the PTT controller starts counting the length of time (seconds) the contacts are shorted. Every 30 minutes the accumulated submergence time is scaled by 0.1 (for example, 1000 seconds is scaled to 100) and loaded into the first byte of the data string and a new submergence time is started. Typical submergence values are 10 to 100. Consistent submergence values of 0 indicate the drogue has been lost. The maximum submergence value is 180 and indicates the surface float is sinking, or heavily fouled. 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. |
