Description:During calendar year 2000 the GOOS Center Global Drifter Program deployed 445 Drifting Buoys, with 236 deployed in the tropical Pacific, 77 in the tropical Atlantic plus 9 WOTAN’s for the Hurricane array, 51 in the Indian Ocean and 72 in the southern Ocean. The Upper Ocean Thermal Center SEAS Program globally collected over 100,000 meteorological and 11,000 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) observations. Our data tracking activities monitored, in real-time, more than 365,000 wind, air temperature, sea level pressure and sea surface temperature measurements as well as more than 24,000 XBT measurements collected from ships observations and inserted onto the Global Telecommunications System. Additionally we monitored more than 730,000 real-time sea surface temperatures collected by the Global Drifter Center network plus more than 65,000 wind measurements collected by the Tropical Atmosphere-Ocean (TAO) array. These monitoring efforts identified and initiated corrective action for, several data dropouts from several different sources.
