The Global Drifter Center at AOML is located in Miami,
Florida. The center
manages the deployment of drifting buoys around the world. Using
research ships, Volunteer Observation Ships (VOS), and
U.S. Navy aircraft, Global Lagrangian Drifters (GLD) are placed in areas of
interest. Once verified operational, they are reported to AOML's Data
Assembly Center (DAC). Incoming data from the drifter are then placed
on the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) for distribution to
meteorological services everywhere.
