Journal: | Scientia Marina | Conference: | Workshop and Conference on Oceanography | Abstract: | We present the design and field validation for the performance of a Semi-spherical Lagrangian Drifter (SELD). The SELD is a low-cost, low-technology, home-made alternative to much more expensive commercial Lagrangian drifters. An analysis of the SELD configuration shows that its drag area ratio is as good as TRISTAR and holey-sock drifters. Field results in a situation of near solid rotation within an oceanic vortex confirm that SELD and holey-sock drifters have an almost identical behavior. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/1024 | ISSN: | 0214-8358 | DOI: | 10.3989/scimar.2001.65s1139 | Source: | Scientia Marina [ISSN 0214-8358], v. 65 (sup. 1), p. 139-143, (Julio 2001) |
