    Metadata Updated: March 1, 2025

    Data from 42 drifter deployments were released by Dr. Phil Richardson of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).

Each drifter has its own reference number starting with L00717 and ending in L00759. The documentation includes floater format and file organization.
