The overall objective of the SPURS drifter component is to
maintain an optimal (i.e., uniform) coverage within a mesoscale box
(e.g., 150x150 km2) centered around the flux mooring at 25N
and 38W.
We have 15 SVP (15-meter) salinity drifters to be released from the Frence Thalassa/Strasse cruise in August 2012, and 36 SVP-S drifters to be released from the US Knorr cruise in September 2012.
The ideal deployment plan will have a relatively uniform coverage within the SPURS mesoscale box from August/September 2012 to March 2013, when the 3rd cruise from US and/or Spanish will return to the SPURS box.
