Initial positions of drifters deployed from 1995 to 1999 in support of the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank program. For drifter tracking, see the 'drifter_tracks' dataset.
Notes:
1Drifters named with a leading 'g' were generally deployed in US terriorial waters and drifters identified with a leading 'n' were deployed in Canadian Waters by Peter Smith from the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO). Also, drifter types containing a gps system reported positions every 30 minutes.
2'inst' parameter is a combination of: Manufacturer code (se = Seimac, cw = Clearwater, met = MEtocean, to = Technocean) + Center depth of drogue (10 or 40 meters) + Shape of drogue (W = wide, versus a square drogue) + Presence of gps system (gps)
