Measuring a Lagrangian drifter’s slip with an onboard ADCP

A perfect Lagrangian drifter should move with the same velocity as the water volume that it is following. Deviations from this ideal will result in a relative velocity between the drifter’s drogue and its surrounding water, commonly named “slip”. Estimating a drifter’s slip is difficult, especially...
