Drifter Location Forecast (33hr) | Drifter Trajectories (6hr and 24hr) |
The following figures show the flowmaps and trajectories for a tilted box in the domain, at different times. In the last row of the table, trajectories for a 33 hours period are shown for drifters released on a 5X4 grid. The grid has a model resolution of 200m.
As a reminder, 12:00Z = 08:00 EDT, i.e., local time is 4 hours behind Zulu time.

The following figures show the trajectories in the domain, at different times. The drifters are released on a 5X4 grid. The grid has a model resolution of 200m. These trajectory computations are for a time window of 6 or 24 hours for the forecast of 15 Aug 1500Z to 16 Aug 1500Z 2017 (15 Aug 1100 EDT to 17 Aug 1100 EDT 2017). The window center shifts in 1 hour intervals.
As a reminder, 12:00Z = 08:00 EDT, i.e., local time is 4 hours behind Zulu time.
