Title: Small scale drifters deployed from 10 process cruises into the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank from 1995-1999 as part of the U.S. GLOBEC program (GB project) (NCEI Accession 0277295)
Abstract: This dataset contains physical data collected on R/V Albatross IV, R/V Edwin Link, R/V Endeavor, R/V Oceanus, and R/V Seward Johnson during cruises AL9805, EL9904, EL9905, EN322, EN323, OC301, OC303, SJ9503, SJ9505, and SJ9507 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-03-14 to 1999-05-29. These data include SST at 1m. The instruments used to collect these data include Drifter Buoy. These data were collected by James P. Manning of Northeast Fisheries Science Center - Woods Hole and James Churchill 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.
