Surface Drifter Deployments in Kachemak Bay and Lynn Canal, Alaska, AK NSF EPSCoR Fire and Ice, 2020

This dataset contained drifter data collected in Kachemak Bay and Lynn Canal, Alaska as part of the AK EPSCoR Fire and Ice program. The data were collected from Microstar surface drifters, manufactured by Pacific Gyre, Inc., deployed in sets of 4 for deployments 1 through 10 in 2020. The device stayed in the upper 1 meter of water, reporting GPS position data at 10-minute intervals (programmable via web interface) from which was used to calculate the velocity of the water.

本数据集收录了阿拉斯加地区卡彻马克湾（Kachemak Bay）与林恩运河（Lynn Canal）内采集的漂流浮标数据，相关数据系AK EPSCoR火与冰项目（AK EPSCoR Fire and Ice Program）的组成部分。本次数据由太平洋环流有限公司（Pacific Gyre, Inc.）制造的Microstar型表层漂流浮标采集所得；2020年开展的第1至10次部署任务中，每次均以4台为一组部署该浮标。该浮标工作于水体表层1米深度范围内，以10分钟为间隔上报GPS位置数据（上报间隔可通过网页界面编程调整），基于所获取的位置数据可计算得到水体流速。
