Abstract
This paper presents the description of a monitoring system based on drifters equipped with GPSreceiver and cellular GSM. The system provides data about currents with a temporal and spatial resolution of 5–10 minutes and 100–200 m. The movement of the drifter can be observed in real time. Several experiments were conducted on the Black Sea shelf for identification of the advantages of the monitoring system. The results of experiments include a comparison of the drifter trajectories with bottom-tracked ADCP and towed ADCP data.
