Lagrangian drifter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lagrangian drifters are drifters designed to aid the Lagrangian analysis of water currents (ocean currents, river flows, etc.) [1]

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