Description
This is a set of tracks for 20 drifters deployed on or near the western side of Palau in November/December 2015. Only fixes for when the drifters were in the water (not on boats or land) are included. Time is given in Matlab format. Note that the time between fixes is not constant. This data is reported in the manuscript (ver 2) submitted in April 2018 to Geophysical Research Letters by the authors titled "Transport between Palau and the Eastern Coral Triangle: Larval Connectivity or Near Misses".
