Description:During the calendar year 2001 the GOOS Center Global Drifter Program deployed 444 Drifting Buoys, 231 in the Pacific Ocean, 45 in the Indian Ocean, 71 in the Atlantic, and 97 in the southern oceans. At the end of 2001 the global array totaled 671 Drifters reporting approximately 3000 sea surface temperatures daily. The Upper Ocean Thermal Center SEAS Program globally collected more than 113,000 sea surface meteorological and more than 10,000 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) observations from approximately 400 participating Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS). The GOOS Center XBT observations represented more than 50% of the total inserted by all groups onto the Global Telecommunications System. There were 31 successful deployments of ARGO Floats in the Atlantic Ocean conducted from Voluntary Observing Ships and our own research vessels. GOOS Center real-time data tracking activities of subsurface observations monitored more than 189,000 observations consisting of Bathy, Buoy, Float, TAO and TESAC data.
