Description

This dataset is comprised of the final processed data collected by 207 surface drifters deployed in the western Gulf of Mexico during the Deep Water Dispersion Experiment (DWDE), as part of the project “Implementación de redes de observación oceanográficas (físicas geoquímicas, ecológicas) para la generación de escenarios ante posibles contingencias relacionadas a la exploración y producción de hidrocarburos en aguas profundas del Golfo de México” of the Gulf de Mexico Research Consortium (CIGoM), funded by CONACYT‐SENER‐Hydrocarbon Fund, Mexico”. 

The DWDE drifter data is also made available with the GulfDriftersWithDWDE dataset (http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3985916), which is a merged and uniformly processed surface drifter dataset which includes publicly available data from several different  drifter experiments. These latter database is the basis for the gridded product GulfFlow (http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3978793). See Lilly and Pérez-Brunius (2021) "A gridded surface current product for the Gulf of Mexico from consolidated drifter measurements" for details.

Notes

The acquisition of the surface drifter data from the DWDE experiment has been financed by the CONACYT-SENER-Hydrocarbons Sector Fund, Mexico (project 201441), developed by the Gulf of Mexico Research Consortium (CIGoM). We recognize PEMEX for promoting to the Fund the specific demand on oil spills and the environment. See database webpage with additional information (https://giola.cicese.mx/database/DWDE)
