An assessment of in situ sea level atmospheric pressure data from NOAA’s Global Drifter Program and other international partners demonstrates that surface velocity drifters contribute crucial information for marine weather prediction.
New research supported by CPO's Climate Observation Division looks into whether or not its possible to provide NOAA Global Drifter Program data at hourly resolution. This research, "A global surface drifter data set at hourly resolution," was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans on April 4, 2016.
