Buoy-derived monthly currents in the Indian Ocean by SusTunTech project

Surface Currents Fish abundance and distribution

The velocities are derived from buoy positions and dates: First raw data were quality controlled, then interpolated to obtain trajectory points every 6 hours, and finally velocities were derived from those positions. Given the good agreement with drifter-derived velocities at -15 m, the velocities of this dataset are considered representative of that depth. The final product is a set of monthly mean current velocities in a grid of cells of 4.5 degrees x 4.5 degrees
