| Preferred Label | MetOcean Surface Velocity Program (SVP)-Iridium Drifter |
| Definition | Code deprecated because it refers to a platform and not an instrument. Original description was: a drifting surface buoy equipped with a bi-directional Iridium satellite system communications link, which also provides the primary position information. More accurate position information is provided by a GPS module. The drifter has an SST sensor and battery voltage sensor as standard, and can optionally be equipped with sensors for salinity, high resolution SST, and barometric pressure. The drifter can either comprise a spherical surface unit with no drogue (the iSphere), or be attached to a holey-sock drogue by a tether (SVP). The latter configuration has a strain gauge drogue presence system. |
