Drifters and Particle tracking Charles Seaton
Uses of drifters and particle tracking • Search and Rescue: SAROPS • Oil Spills: GNOME (animation) • Science: • Where does the water go? • Way to measure data at sea for extended periods of time. • Planning: Where will the drifter go?
Particle tracking in the model • Glider rescue: http://www.stccmop.org/news/2010/modeling-technology-supports-glider-rescue • Glider rescue animation: http://www.stccmop.org/~pturner/glider-ptrack2.avi • Particle cloud animation: http://www.stccmop.org/~pturner/drogs3.avi • Particle tracking in Southern California: http://ourocean.jpl.nasa.gov/SCB/ • Particle tracking in CMOP model coming soon…

Ideas for drifters • Message on an orange: http://www.une.edu/news/2008/orangedrifters08.cfm • Dr. Charles Tilburg http://faculty.une.edu/cas/ctilburg/research/index.htm • Message in a bottle: 10-20% recovery rate! But you only get start and endpoint. • Rubber duckies: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/31/eveningnews/main566138.shtml • MATE project: http://coseenow.net/mate/ • North East Fisheries Science Center: http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/epd/ocean/MainPage/lob/driftdesign.html • Gulf of Maine drifters: http://gisweb.wh.whoi.edu/cgi-bin/ioos/drift/index.html (both visualizations and descriptions of how to make inexpensive drifters)
