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.
