This year’s loop current is perfect hurricane food. Shay’s research team plans to release floats and air-sea buoys in the Gulf of Mexico this week ahead of Tropical Storm Helene, part of a ...
SVP buoy fitted with a barometer (photo by DBi) The drifters are deployed from research vessels, volunteer ships, and through air deployment. [5] They typically transmit their data hourly and had an average lifetime of ~485 days in 2001. [5] Presently, enough data is gathered to observe currents at a horizontal resolution of one degree (~100 km ...
