Abstract:
During the project Mission Microbiomes with the RV Tara (March to April 2022) 20 Lagrangian drifters were deployed between Punta Arenas (Chile) and Cape Town (South Africa) to monitor the surface flow. The drifters were designed and built at Hereon to follow the upper surface flow (upper ~ 50 cm). These Hereon drifter consist of a 20 cm x 7.5 cm long tube, with a floatation ring at the top. Furthermore, a drogue of 35 cm in both length and diameter is attached, via a flexible cord, in a distance of 20 cm to the tube. When deployed about 5 cm protrude from the water surface, resulting in a ratio of drag area in to drag area outside the water of 21. The tube contains a battery pack and an electronic board, which acquires and reports the GPS position every 5 minutes via a global satellite network in near real time.
