Track of GPS Drifter ICBM-BASS 2022-02 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 是一份收录拉格朗日（Lagrangian）高分辨率表层漂流浮标数据的数据集，其数据来自两组部署于北海赫尔戈兰岛附近海域的浮标集群：分别于2022年9月21日投放10套浮标，2022年9月22日投放11套浮标。该数据集经过统一的标准化处理与质量控制流程，并被插值至5分钟的时间分辨率。本次部署的浮标高度为0.5米，搭载直接集成于壳体的水下稳流装置（subsurface drogue），该部署构型的阻力面积比为R=25.6。本浮标投放任务由“森肯伯格号”（RV Senckenberg）科考船执行，隶属于德国研究基金会（DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft）BASS研究单元项目（资助编号：451574234），研究目标为追踪表层洋流路径、海洋环流与海洋锋面的运动特征。
