ADRIFT In the California Current 2021-2024 Raw Audio

browse graphicDeployed ADRIFT drifter. Credit: NOAA Fisheries/ Shannon Rankin
ADRIFT in the California Current uses passive acoustic drifting buoys to study ocean sound in the California Current Ecosystem. These autonomous buoys drift with currents and are tracked via satellite messenger. Data collected through the ADRIFT project will be used to assess noise levels and seasonal marine mammal acoustic presence in the California Current.
