Brief description
This dataset contains the tracks of surface drifting buoys in the Australasian region, deployed as part of the Global Drifter Program (GDP). The GDP collects operational, near-real time surface velocity, sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity, and sea level pressure observations (not presented here) for numerical weather forecasting, research, and in-situ calibration/verification of satellite observations. The GDP is managed in close cooperation between the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, Florida, and the branch of the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Marine Ecosystems and Climate (CIMEC) located at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. Access to the data (not updated since 2014), represented by this metadata record, has been removed from the AODN Portal (09/08/2021).Created: 26 02 2014
