Before we deploy a large number of drifters near the Greenland shelf-break, we wanted to do a dry run (or rather a wet run) locally. This will allow us to see how they react to near-real environment (sea water, clear or cloudy sky, obstacles blocking the GPS signal and so on), and give us some experience in their deployment in controlled conditions.

The rate of Greenland melting has been accelerating in the past 2 decades. Not only is Greenland releasing more freshwater into the oceans, it’s doing so to a greater extent each year.
