Abstract: Observations of the motions of drifter clusters were made in the western Caribbean Sea during the summer of 1971. By two independent analyses of the relative motions of a cluster, two time series of horizontal divergence, ...

Abstract: The problem analysed here is the motion of a drifter acted on by wind, surface and subsurface currents. From the condition of static equilibrium of all drag forces acting on the drifter, the effects of wind and surface ...

Abstract: This paper describes the optimal design and its research-to-operation transition of an integrated global observing system of satellites and in situ observations. The integrated observing system is used for climate assessment ...
