Abstract

GPS drifters monitoring flow direction set off the coast of the West coast of Leyte, the Philippines in the municipalities of Albuera (10.91667, 124.69667) and Bay Bay City (11.07611, 124.87525), May - June 2017.

Cite Dataset

Five or six drifters were set at each location in a cross pattern. Each drifter was set and released 150 meters apart parallel to the coast and 40 meters apart perpendicular to the coast.

Shapefiles indicate the planned drop locations for the drifters for each deployment. The dates (and on one file, the local time) of the deployment are indicated in the file name as YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM. See Supplemental File "Drifter_release_shapefiles.zip."

Issue report: 
Drifters were often retrieved by fishers and other ocean users. Beware of out-of-water time and unusually straight drifter tracks (e.g., when in a boat).
