Observations of wind/wave drag on the BIO barrel drifter and other surface drifters [electronic resource] / by J.A. Elliot. Dartmouth, N.S. : Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, 2018. v, 40 p. : charts, ill. (some col.), map. Canadian technical report of fisheries and aquatic sciences, 1488-5379 ; 3257 Includes bibliographical references (p. 23). “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. Includes pref. material and abstract in French. Oceanographic buoys Testing Canada.
