Uses of drifters and particle tracking
• Search and Rescue: SAROPS
• Oil Spills: GNOME (animation)
• Science: – Where does the water go? – Way to measure data at sea for extended
periods of time.
• Planning: Where will the drifter go?
Particle tracking in the model• Glider rescue:

• Glider rescue animation: http://www.stccmop.org/~pturner/glider-ptrack2.avi
• Particle cloud animation: http://www.stccmop.org/~pturner/drogs3.avi
• Particle tracking in Southern California: http://ourocean.jpl.nasa.gov/SCB/
• Particle tracking in CMOP model coming soon…
Drifter ProgramsCMOP drifters in model context: CMOP MATE Drifters (under development): http://core02.stccmop.org/datamart/observation_network/driftermissions
