Surface circulation tracking drifter data for the Kitimat Fjord system in northern British Columbia and adjacent continental shelf for April, 2014 to July, 2016 / S. Page, C. Hannah, T. Juhasz, D. Spear...: Fs97-16/206E-PDF

"As part of the Government of Canada’s World Class Prevention, Preparedness and Response for Oil Spills from Ships Initiative, we developed a cost-effective low-impact satellite-tracked surface water drifter to aid in understanding surface drift for the coastal waters of British Columbia. These surface drifters provide positioning data in near real-time, offering high resolution temporal and spatial insights into circulation pathways. This dataset in turn aids in the calibration and validation of existing surface circulation models"--Abstract, page iv.
