The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Raw drifter data from RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer and ARSV Laurence M. Gould cruises NBP0103, LMG0103, LMG0201A, and NBP0202 in the Southern Ocean from 2001-2002 (SOGLOBEC project) (NCEI Accession 0277400) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains physical data collected on ARSV Laurence M. Gould and RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer during cruises LMG0103, LMG0201A, NBP0103, and NBP0202 in the Indian Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean from 2001-03-26 to 2002-04-16. These data include depth_drifter and sea surface temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Drifter Buoy. These data were collected by Dr Richard Limeburner of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean (SOGLOBEC)" 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. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Raw drifter data Dataset Description: ARGOS Tracked Near Surface Drifter Data The following was extracted from the Cruise Report of the N.B. Palmer Cruise 01-03. The complete cruise report can be seen here or on the SO GLOBEC web site under the object "Inventory" 2.0 Drifter Measurements (Bob Beardsley and Dick Limeburner) Surface drifters are being deployed and tracked via satellite to study the near surface Lagrangian currents in the SO GLOBEC study area on the western Antarctic Peninsula Shelf. Each drifter has a small (~ 30 cm diameter) surface float with ARGOS transmitter and batteries tethered to a holey sock drogue centered at 15 m below the surface. The drogue, about 10 m tall and 1 m in diameter, is designed to "lock" itself to the water so that the surface float follows the mean water motion at 15 m depth with very little slippage even in high winds. Thus measuring the drifter's position as a function of time provides a Lagrangian measurement of the 15-m ocean current.
