attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String Acoustically tracked subsurface float dataset, version number 3.0. This dataset of acoustically tracked subsurface float observations was initially compiled by the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Subsurface Float Data Assembly Center (WFDAC) at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2014 and was subsequently updated in 2017 and 2024 with more recent float datasets. The float observations are collected by acoustically tracked, neutrally-buoyant subsurface floats which collect position data while drifting beneath the ocean surface. The floats included are SOFAR, RAFOS, RAFOS-VOCHA, MARVOR, ALFOS, and RAFOS-enabled Argos.
