Global Drifter Program
Operational Dashboard

This Dashboard provides a quick overview and performance of drifters provided by the Lagrangian Drifter Laboratory (LDL) that form the Global Drifter Program (GDP) array. These are termed “GDP LDL drifters” and include:

1. Drifters fabricated and/or purchased by the LDL with NOAA funds.

2. Drifters fabricated and/or purchased by the LDL funded by agencies other than NOAA that have agreed to join the GDP array and make their data publicly available in accordance with GDP’s policy.

3. Drifters from [1] or [2] that have their sensor suite upgraded by an LDL GDP collaborator.

4. Drifters funded by third parties and collaborators who have agreed to join the GDP array and make their data publicly available in accordance with GDP’s policy.
