Since spring 2004, dozens of student-built satellite-tracked drifters have been deployed in the Gulf of Maine. These drifters increased the number of drifters released in the Gulf of Maine by fourfold.  Data from the entire set of drifter releases in the Gulf of Maine (top panel) have been analyzed to developed statistics on surface water circulation patterns in the Gulf of Maine (bottom panel). Residence times in days (italic) and low-frequency speed (cm/s) and direction (degrees True) were estimated for 10o cells where data were available. The number of observations (nobs) appears in parentheses after each statistic.  While the mean flow is aligned with historical observations, much more detailed information now exists in each region.  For example, it is now apparent that grid cells in the Great South Channel have more than doubled the residence times of those directly east of Cape Cod.  Similarly, there are regions in the middle of the Gulf where residence times are twice as great as those off the coast of Downeast Maine.  Some regions are flow-through systems and some are stagnant. The drifter archive is now served through http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/epd/ocean/MainPage, the NEFSC Oceanography website, and, according to NOAA IOOS conventions, through the Opensource Project for Network Data Access Protocol (OpeNDAP).
