Penobscot Bay Drifting Buoy Experiment in 2001
Four drifting buoys were deployed in Penobscot Bay on 11 June 2001 from the
R/V Alice Siegmund. These drifting buoys are drogued at a depth of 15 meters
and transmit using the Argos telemetry system onboard NOAA's polar orbiting
satellites. Sea surface temperature and battery voltages are transmitted in
addition to the position information obtained from the Argos system.
