VOCALS: IMARPE R/V Jose Olaya Surface Drifter Data

Summary

The AOML Global Drifter Program (http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/dac/index.php) provided IMARPE these drifters. The metadata and the interpolated data were downloaded from the AOML web site. To learn more about how the data were quality controlled and interpolated, see http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/dac/gdp_drifter.php . Data from other drifters or time periods can be downloaded from AOML at http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/envids/gld/dirkrig/parttrk_spatial_temporal.php .
