World Historical Shipdrift Archives, from 1853 to 1973; WHOI

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The World Historical Shipdrift Archives consists of 416 files of observations of ship drift collected by the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office between 1853 and 1973, averaged by one-degree square and by 2X5-degree square.

Description

Averages are collected by year and by month. Since the raw shipdrift data was organized by 10-degree latitudinal bands the averaged files are also.

The primary data are simply velocity (U,V) at a time and location (latitude, longitude). In addition, the variances of U and V, the covariance of U and V, and the Eddy Kinetic Energy are calculated. The data is available on ftp at: "ftp://ursa.whoi.edu/pub/shipdrift/"
