Field trials observing wind/wave drag on the BIO barrel drifter and other Lagrangian surface drifters [electronic resource] / by J.A. Elliott and G.A. Fowler. Dartmouth, Nova Scotia : Fisheries and Oceans Canada : Bedford Institute of Oceanography, 2018. v, 256 p. : ill., maps Canadian data report of fisheries and aquatic sciences, 1488-5395 ; 1283 Includes bibliographical references. "A series of field trials are reported that document the drift tracks of Lagrangian drifters deployed in the Bedford Basin and at the entrance of Halifax Harbour. These drifters have been designed to follow near surface water movement; they include: BIO Barrel Drifters, Hermes Drifter, Orion 4800, Orion Tracker Buoy, Nova Tech 200, and BIO Tarball Tracker. This data set is part of an experimental evaluation of the ability of these buoys to follow oil in the near surface. The data are presented as plan view position plots with calculated mean velocities, and plots of wind speed and buoy velocity as a function of time"--Abstract, p. iv.
