Drifter Trajectory Simulation tool available

From the SPURS web site, under "SPURS Data" and "Drifters" (soon to be replaced by "Drifter Trajectory Simulation"), I released 12 "virtual" drifters, using the "Single Drop Mode".  The velocity hourly data from the ROMS model during August-September 2011 are used to calculate the drifter trajectory.  Currently, there is a limit that each user can release no more than 12 drifters at a time, mostly for computational considerations.  To get the trajectory below takes about 45 seconds.
