Acknowledgments
This work was supported by the Norwegian Ministry
of Justice, The Norwegian Joint Rescue Coordination
Centres (JRCC), and The Royal Norwegian Navy
through the project “Drift av gjenstander” (Drifting
objects) and subsequent follow-up projects. The JRCC
also contributed directly to this work by making the data
from their field exercises available. The U.S. Coast
Guard has generously made available all their compiled
leeway field data.
