Lagrangian drifter

Lagrangian drifter

Lagrangian drifters are drifters designed to aid the Lagrangian analysis of water currents (ocean currents, river flows, etc.) ["Air-Sea Interaction: Instruments and Methods", by F. Dobson, L. Hasse, Russ E. Davis (1980) ISBN 0306405431 ]

Numerous types of drifters are designed with constructions particularly suited for particular areas of application: coastal currents, deep water/shallow water currents, etc.
