WATER TEMPERATURE and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM and Other Platforms From North Atlantic Ocean and Others from 1974-10-02 to 1980-04-28 (NCEI Accession 8700049)
Data from 42 drifter deployments were released by Dr. Phil Richardson of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Some of the data were collected jointly with Dr. Robert Cheney while at the University of Rhode Island. The data were collected from October 1974 to April 1980 in the North Western Atlantic. Each drifter has its own reference number starting with L00717 and ending in L00759. The documentation includes floater format and file organization.
