Drifting Buoys

Stokes Drifter

The Stokes drifter is a revolutionary, compact drifting buoy that tracks currents at the ocean surface.

CODE/DAVIS Drifter

The CODE/DAVIS drifter is equipped with a sea surface temperature sensor, GPS receiver and the option of either Iridium or ARGOS based satellite telemetry.

iSVP-RXL

The iSVP-RXL is a fish tracking drifter composed of MetOcean's iSVP drifting buoy, the Innovasea Rx-LIVE acoustic receiver, and MetOcean’s asset management and tracking software, LiNC.

iSVP

The Surface Velocity Program (SVP, iSVP) drifting buoy is a Lagrangian current-following drifter, designed to track water currents (15 metres depth) beneath the ocean surface.

iSphere

The iSPHERE is a unique buoy designed for oil spill tracking. Offered as an alternative to the standard ARGOSPHERE drifter, it uses the bi-directional Iridium satellite system to communicate and to transmit essential scientific data.
