Drifter-based velocity statistics in the vicinity of the Azores Front

Surface velocity observations from the Canary Basin of the northeast Atlantic Ocean are studied with emphasis on the region of the Azores Current. Data are based on trajectories of 155 WOCE-standard Lagrangian surface drifters drogued at 15 m depth. Over 52,000 daily velocity estimates are available...
