Current speed data collected using drifting buoy in the TOGA area as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment / Hawaii-Tahiti Shuttle (IDOE/NORPAX/HITIS) project from 1979-02-07 to 1980-12-17 (NCEI Accession 8200021)
This dataset contains data from Drifting Buoys deployed during the Hawaii/Tahiti Shuttle Experiment between February 7, 1979 and December 17, 1980. Data consists of information transmitted from buoy in TOGA Area, Pacific (30 N to 30 S) to orbiting satellite and received by the Argos System of Centre Spatial de Toulouse. Typical parameters for these records are: platform number, julian date, time, location index, initial altitude and frequency, latitude/longitude, speed in degrees/day and transmission frequency. The original data submitted in three tapes in binary form have been converted to current NODC data storage format.
