Abstract

Abstract An expensive drifter has been developed for studies of subsurface and abyssal currents. It uses an ARGOS radio transmitter to reveal its pop-up position at the end of a programmed period of submergence, which may last from days to months. Statistical significance of mean flow estimates is achieved through ensemble averaging a set of drift vectors, hence an emphasis on low cost.
