Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center 20070427 tabular digital data CRED SVP drifter Argos_ID 24666 was deployed in the region of American Samoa to assess ocean currents and sea surface temperature. SVP drifter data files contain drifter ids, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, GPS latitude and longitude. Drifter data was collected hourly. All dates and times are UTC. Contact Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center for more information. http://www.pifsc.noaa.gov/cred/oceanography.php These data were collected for coral reef ecosystem research. They are collected concurrently with ecological/biological reef assessments and monitoring data.
