Abstract:

The purpose of this Defense University Research Instrumentation Program DURIP was to acquire an array of air-deployable drifters to be used for the Impact of Typhoons on the Western Pacific Ocean ITOP program sponsored by the Office of Naval Research ONR. The goal was to enhance the basic drifter array 20 units already funded by ONR for the ITOP project. With this extra DURIP funds, we were therefore able to reach our target of 60 drifter units for this experiment.
