Track of GPS Drifter ICBM-BASS 2022-14 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 数据集包含两套部署集群的拉格朗日（Lagrangian）高分辨率表层漂流浮标观测数据：两套集群分别于2022年9月21日（布设10套浮标）与2022年9月22日（布设11套浮标）在北海黑尔戈兰（Helgoland）附近海域完成布设。该数据集经过统一的处理与质量控制流程，并被插值至5分钟时间分辨率。本次布设的浮标高度为0.5米，其水下稳定拖体（subsurface drogue）直接安装于浮标壳体之上，该布设构型的阻力面积比为R=25.6。本次浮标布设工作由RV森肯贝格号考察船执行，依托德国研究基金会（DFG）Bass研究单元项目（项目编号：451574234）开展，旨在追踪表层海流路径、海洋环流与海洋锋面的运动特征。
