LOFZY2005_xan_buoy: position, temperature and pressure data of 23 autonomous drifting water buoys

Brümmer, Burghard et al.

Dataset
Summary
This dataset contains data collected by 23 drifting autonoumous water buoys (Metocean XAN) during the Lofote cyclone experiment LOFZY 2005. The buoys were deployed by a transport aircraft in the Norwegian Sea on 2 February 2005. The buoys delivered at approximately 1-hourly time intervalls position, sea level pressure, air temperature and water temperature for several months with the last buoy transmitting until end of September 2005.
