Drift Card Experiment: Deployment dates, times and locations and recovery dates and locations for drift cards released at various locations in the Gulf of Mexico between April 2013 and October 2015

In 2013-2015 over 6000 drift cards were deployed at various locations in the Gulf of Mexico by volunteers from various vessels of opportunity. By February 2016 approximately 10% of the deployed cards were recovered and reported to staff associated with the Gulf of Mexico Research Integrated Spill Response (GISR) Research Consortia. This is the raw dataset consisting of the deployment information for all cards released and the deployment and recovery information for cards recovered.

2013年至2015年间，来自各类志愿作业船只的志愿者在墨西哥湾多个海域投放了逾6000张漂流卡（drift cards）。截至2016年2月，约10%的已投放漂流卡被回收，并上报至与墨西哥湾研究综合溢油响应（Gulf of Mexico Research Integrated Spill Response, GISR）研究联盟相关的工作人员。本数据集为原始数据集，涵盖所有已投放漂流卡的投放信息，以及已回收漂流卡的投放与回收信息。
