Access URI: https://www.incois.gov.in/portal/datainfo/db.jsp

Brief Description (Abstract):

The global drifter program is a global array of ocean surface drifters, which typically provide measurements of sea surface temperature, surface velocity and other parameters. Drifting buoy data includes the buoy position, date, time and in many cases includes other variables such as surface and subsurface water temperature, air pressure, air temperature, wind speed and wind direction.
