Drifter Studies of the Western Pacific, Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea

Abstract

The overarching objective of the proposed Lagrangian drifter effort is to collect in-situ Lagrangian observations of surface currents over the Mariana trench/ridge system between Palau and Guam, in the Indian Ocean and in the Arabian Sea to improve the dynamical knowledge and predictability of the near-surface circulation in these regions and to provide an independent dataset for the validation of numerical models.
