SOCIB / Drifter

Surface drifters are autonomous observing platforms that provide a lagrangian trajectory from which ocean currents can be inferred. During their deployment, expected to last up to two years, they can also provide other variables of interest, such as sea surface temperature or air pressure. The data is provided to Data Assembly Centres whenever a platform establishes connection with the satellite constellation.

SOCIB mantains a sustained drifters program, in the framework of the Global Drifter Program (GDP), consisting on periodic deployments of SVP platforms to attend scientific needs. A popular use of the data will be surface currents mapping, distribution of eddy kinetic energy and dispersion of surface particles (such as fish larvae and other plankton and buoyant pollutants such as oil spills).

IDrifter SVPG003 The IRIDIUM Drifter (iDrifter) is a Lagrangian drifting buoy designed (patent pending) by the Marine Technologies, Operational Oceanograhy and Sustainability (TMOOS) department of IMEDEA in collaboration with SOCIB under the ETD Technology Development Division. This design reduces energy consumption and minimizes the size and weight of standard drifters (SVP and CODE) in order to minimize the threat for maritime traffic, increasing also its operational capabilities.
