The largest ever network of autonomous ice-tethered buoys was deployed as a Distributed Network (DN) surrounding the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Central Observatory (CO). This extensive network of 112 Global Positioning System (GPS) buoys and 12 multi-instrumented ice stations captured the annual cycle of Arctic sea ice drift and deformation for the first time as the DN traversed the Transpolar Drift Stream. GPS position data from buoys deployed during the year-long MOSAiC experiment capture sea ice drift and deformation at spatial scales ranging from 100s of meters to 200 kilometers (km) from late September 2019 into 2021. This data set contains the code files used to perform quality control on raw ice-tethered buoy drift data from the MOSAiC expedition Distributed Network. The code was used to produce the Sea ice drift tracks from the Distributed Network of autonomous buoys deployed during the MOSAiC expedition 2019 - 2021 data set. A file for each of the ...
