WATER TEMPERATURE and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM From South Atlantic Ocean and Others from 1978-11-22 to 1981-01-13 (NCEI Accession 9000113)

Metadata Updated: March 17, 2023

This data set is a processed version of data obtained during the First GARP (Global Atmospheric Research Program) Global Experiment (FGGE). The data were obtained by 359 individual drifting buoys from November 1978 to January 1981 mostly in the southern hemisphere oceans. This data set was processed by Dr. Steven L. Patterson from NODC. The buoys were supplied by different countries. Included in the documentation is a description of the data set and a manuscript titled "Surface Circulation and Kinetic Energy Distribution in the South by S.L. Patterson". This paper was published in the Journal of Physical Oceanography 15 (7).
