raw data | processed data (columns id, -date-time-, lat, lon, pressure temperature) Last 24 obs from: 71513 | 71582 | 71583 | Graphs of MSLP for: 71513 | 71582 | 71583 | all Data from our 2000/2001 season ice drifter buoys

On Sunday February 18th John King dropped 3 buoys from a twin otter onto the seaice in the Bellingshausen sea. 2 were dropped close together, one further away. Read the thrilling first-hand story (now with pictures) here!

• It looks like buoy 21384 stopped transmitting after about a day.
• [2001/03/05] now down to one buoy since 21388 seems to have failed.
• [2001/03/28] 21376 took a rest for a few days, but its back now. Seems to be stuck.
• [2001/04/24] Martin Doble put in one other CALIB buoy, 21392, "by hand" from the Polarstern. Read his mail here. At the same time he also put in 3 drifting buoys of his own, with argos IDs 71513, 71582, 71583.
• [2001/05/21] Last calib has failed :-( Seaice very far back this winter.

Now that all the CALIBs have failed, new data is coming from the drifting buoys only :-(

Plotted are the seaice field, MSLP field, and buoys. The Buoys are colour-coded a bit: bright green for ours, darker colours for Martin Dobles.

I have replaced the seaice overlay from OMB with a higher resolution dataset from DTU (thanks to Leif Toudal).
