RT Journal Article T1 Validating ocean general circulation models via Lagrangian particle simulation and data from drifting buoys A1 Bedi, Karan A1 Gómez-Ullate Oteiza, David A1 Izquierdo, Alfredo A1 Fernández Montblanc, Tomás AB Drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADs) are small drifting platforms with an attached solar powered buoy that report their position with daily frequency via GPS. We use data of 9,440 drifting objects provided by a buoys manufacturing company, to test the predictions of surface current velocity provided by two of the main models: the NEMO model used by Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) and the HYCOM model used by the Global Ocean Forecast System (GOFS).
