Title: Coral Ecosystem Connectivity from Pulley Ridge to the Florida Keys: Surface Drifting Buoy Position Data from 2012-08-08 to 2016-05-12 (NCEI Accession 0178107)
Abstract: This dataset contains satellite-tracked drifting buoy data collected around the southwest Florida Shelf. CODE/DAVIS (Coastal Dynamics Experiment drifters described by Davis, 1985) and mini SVP (Surface Velocity Program drifters described by Lumpkin and Pazos, 2007) buoys were deployed around Pulley Ridge, Dry Tortugas, and southwest Florida Shelf on project cruises between 2012 and 2015. Drifting buoys are designed to float freely with ocean surface currents and report their position back to shore via satellite. Data includes drifter time and position.

CODE/DAVIS style drifters were deployed in 2012 and 2013. Mini SVP style drifters were deployed in 2014 and 2015. In 2012 and 2013, the AOML South Florida Program (SFP) provided the drifters for the project. In 2014 and 2015 the AOML Global Drifter Center (GDC) provided the drifters.
