drifting buoys  

DEFINITION

  • Drifting buoys are generally attached to some form of drogue or sea-anchor, are easy to deploy, are relatively inexpensive to operate and reliably measure the atmosphere and ocean surface conditions, for an average of 18 months. Drifting buoys have a long history of use in oceanography, principally for the measurement of currents. There have also been many types of drifting buoys used for meteorological purposes. (en)
