Verification of drift models of rhodamine spill, life-raft and dummy-man during experiment POLRODEX'97

The part of the experiment POLRODEX'97 was a set of drift experiments including the rhodamine spill, life raft and dummy-man drifting experiment. The experiments have been realised in order to both verify the hydrodynamic model results and increase the knowledge on drifting object behaviour including the possibilities to model the object drift using the operational results of HIROMB model. The results of the drifting experiments are shown. Some deficiencies in operational hydrodynamic and meteorological models are named.
