Current measurements from SVP and APEX drifters around the Hawaiian Islands deployed by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystems Division (CRED), 2001-2006 (NCEI Accession 0049436)
This data collection includes data from multiple SVP and APEX drifters deployed in the region around the Hawaiian Islands to assess ocean currents and sea surface temperature. SVP and APEX drifter data files contain drifter ids, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, GPS latitude and longitude. Drifter data was collected hourly. All dates and times are UTC.
The data files (.dbf) do not include temperature measurements.
Contact Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center for more information.
