Surface Drifter Deployments in Kachemak Bay and Lynn Canal, Alaska, AK NSF EPSCoR Fire and Ice, 2020

This dataset contained drifter data collected in Kachemak Bay and Lynn Canal, Alaska as part of the AK EPSCoR Fire and Ice program. The data were collected from Microstar surface drifters, manufactured by Pacific Gyre, Inc., deployed in sets of 4 for deployments 1 through 10 in 2020. The device stayed in the upper 1 meter of water, reporting GPS position data at 10-minute intervals (programmable via web interface) from which was used to calculate the velocity of the water.

本数据集包含作为阿拉斯加EPSCoR火与冰项目（AK EPSCoR Fire and Ice program）一部分，在阿拉斯加卡彻马克湾（Kachemak Bay）和林恩运河（Lynn Canal）收集的漂流浮标数据。这些数据来自太平洋环流公司（Pacific Gyre, Inc.）生产的Microstar表面漂流浮标，2020年第1至10次部署中每次均以4个为一组投放。该设备停留于水体表层1米范围内，每10分钟上报一次GPS位置数据（可通过网络界面编程设置），这些数据被用于计算水流速度。
