Satellite Tracked Buoy Data 1975 - 1995
Buoys were released in the Southern Ocean (in Antarctic waters), in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, in the Tasman Sea and in The Great Australian Bight. 143 deployments were made between 1975 and 1995. The buoys were tracked by the NASA weather satellite NIMBUS-6, and later by the French System ARGOS...
