Track of GPS Drifter ICBM-BASS 2022-19 near Helgoland

Drifter_North_Sea_ICBM_BASS_2022a is a dataset containing Lagrangian high resolution surface drifter data from two clusters deployed on 21-Sep-2022 (10 drifters) and 22-Sep-2022 (11 drifters) in the North Sea (near Helgoland), subjected to a uniform processing and quality control method and interpolated to five minute resolution. The drifters were 0.5 m in height with a subsurface drogue that was directly to the housing. The drag area ratio of the deployed configuration is R=25.6. The drifter deployments were carried out from the RV Senckenberg in the framework of the DFG Research Unit Bass (grant no. 451574234) to track the pathways of surface currents and the circulation and ocean fronts.

Drifter_North_Sea_ICBM_BASS_2022a数据集包含拉格朗日（Lagrangian）高分辨率表面漂流浮标（surface drifter）数据，这些数据来自2022年9月21日（10个漂流浮标）和9月22日（11个漂流浮标）在北海（黑尔戈兰岛附近）部署的两个集群。该数据集经过统一处理与质量控制，插值至5分钟分辨率。漂流浮标高度为0.5米，其水下尾舵（subsurface drogue）直接连接至外壳，部署配置的阻力面积比（drag area ratio）为R=25.6。这些漂流浮标的部署由Senckenberg号研究船（RV Senckenberg）在德国研究基金会（DFG）Bass研究单元（项目编号：451574234）框架下完成，旨在追踪表层流路径、环流特征及海洋锋面。
