1) These drifters are tracking ocean currents. what is the general location of these currents And what is the main direction they are moving? 2) Is the direction of daily drift different from the direction over a longer time scale? 3) Do both drifters behave the same or differently? what might make the currents (drifters) speed up, slow down, or change the direction? 4) Did the number of days used to calculate the speed and direction make a big difference? 5) do you think you could predict the position of a drifter in the future, for instance 3 days after your last position plotted? 6) Give some examples of why it is important to understand how ocean currents flow.
