GulfDrifters: A consolidated surface drifter dataset for the Gulf of Mexico

This dataset consists of all publicly available surface drifter trajectories from the Gulf of Mexico, subjected to a uniform quality control and processing methodology and interpolated onto hourly resolution. Full details as to the datasets and processing may be found in Lilly and Perez-Prunius (2020), "A gridded surface current product for the Gulf of Mexico from consolidated drifter measurements." A related dataset is the GulfFlow space/time gridded velocity product, comprised of these data together with three proprietary experiments. GulfFlow is available at https://zenodo.org/record/3978793 for noncommercial use. One of those proprietary experiments is the Deep Water Dispersion Experiment (DWDE). This is available for noncommercial use at https://zenodo.org/record/3979964, together with a version of the GulfDrifters dataset, GulfDriftersDWDE, that also incorporates the DWDE data.
