Nobska Drifter Deployments

Preliminary drifter tracks and a sample cruise track generated from data collected by the R/V Nobska during the recent intensive operating period.

For the drifter tracks, the dots mark half-hour intervals, and the closely spaced dots correspond to times when the drifters were in the water.

For the cruise track, a "boom chain" with a string of 22 Seabird instruments with spacing that varied from 0.5 to 2 m was towed while traveling at about 3 kts.
