Track of GPS Drifter ICBM-BASS 2022-20 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 数据集包含两组浮标集群的拉格朗日（Lagrangian）高分辨率表层漂流浮标观测数据：两组浮标分别于2022年9月21日（投放10套）与2022年9月22日（投放11套）部署于北海黑尔戈兰岛附近海域。该数据集经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。本次部署的浮标高度为0.5米，其水下潜标直接集成于浮标外壳中，该部署构型的拖曳面积比为R=25.6。本浮标部署工作由‘森肯贝格号’（RV Senckenberg）科考船执行，依托德国研究基金会（Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG）Bass研究单元项目（项目编号：451574234）开展，旨在追踪表层洋流路径、海洋环流与海洋锋面。
