C-RAID project is a global reprocessing of drifting buoys data and metadata.
The C-RAID dataset contains the metadata of 20.000 drifting buoys, deployed between 1979 and 2018.
A first phase of 10 000 drifting buoys full reprocessing is published on

This delayed mode dataset is now ingested and available from Coriolis and Copernicus Marine in situ TAC.
C-RAID 10 035 drifting buoys trajectories provide more 10 410 years of observations (current, sea water temperature, air temperature, atmospheric pressure, …)
