Observations of wind/wave drag on the BIO barrel drifter and other surface drifters / by J.A. Elliot.: Fs97-6/3257E-PDF

“To aid development of numerical models and have real time environmental monitoring of surface currents, BIO designed a Lagrangian surface drifter, the BIO Barrel Drifter, for use in the near shore and open ocean. This is a documentation of the results from field trials undertaken to find the wind/wave drag influence on the drift speed. Based on these trials, the drift speed of the BIO Barrel Drifter can be corrected for wind/wave drag error to better than ±1 cm/sec. Other surface drifters, some commercial, are included in the analysis”--Abstract, p. iv.
