GPS data of drifting buoy 2018T55 deployed in the Pacific sector of the Arctic Ocean during the TRANSDRIFT/TICE/NABOS expedition in summer 2018

The buoy was, among others, installed on sea ice floes during the TRANSDRIFT/TICE/NABOS expedition onboard the Akademik Tryoshnikov in Aug/Sep 2018. The buoy subsequently drifted through the Transpolar Drift of the Arctic Ocean for several months, documenting the drift of the pack ice, until they ceased transmitting. The SIMBA measured GPS time, latitude and longitude and transmitted those data via the iridium satellite network at 2-hourly intervals.
