Goals
1. To analyze spatial and themporal distribution of the mooring and drifter observations.
2. To prepare drifter and mooring dta for assimilation.
Request to BEST PI's
This page include locations of the moorings and drifter observatioon conducted during 2007-2010, which are currently
availabe for data assimilation.
We would be very gratefull if you find possible to provide any additional information related the
velocity observations in the Bering Sea during 2007-2010.

Figure 1. "NOAA drifter tracks for a period 2005-2010 in the model domain.
Figure 2. "All subtidal velocities from NOAA drifter tracks for a period 2005-2010 in the model domain.
Figure 3. Red arrows: Low-pass series of the velocity observation from BEST moorings (K.Aagard, T. Weingartner) Black arrows: velocity derived from low-passed drifters tracks in the Bering Sea.
Preliminary conclusions from this test
Drifter velocity are seldom during the period of BEST project, but they can be easily combined with available observations from moorings.
