SEQUAL/FOCAL Drifter Database

This compressed file contains data collected from SEQUAL/FOCAL surface drifters deployed in the equatorial Atlantic between 1983 and 1985. In cooperation with the Seasonal Response of the Equatorial Atlantic Experiment (SEQUAL) and its French counterpart, Français Océan et Climat dans l'Atlantique Equatorial (FOCAL), this database has been made available by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
