30 Metocean SVP drifters were deployed on the self-break between 55°12.00 N, 10°04.52 W and 55°10.21 N, 10°05.36 W, on the 17/7/2013. 
Of these drifters 15 were drogued at 15 m (drifters 16-30) and 15 at 70 m (drifters 1-15). 
 The drifters are equipped with Iridium and GPS tracking and report GPS location along with sea surface temperature every 3 hours. 
They were released over the 600 m isobath in alternating order (1 long, 1 short, 1 long …) over 1 hour and 20 minutes.
The 600 m isobaths was chosen as a release site as other experiments had indicated the presence of a slope current at this depth.
 The drifters were released south of a large canyon and to the south of the dye release experiment.
