Drift (stream ecology)
Drift in stream ecology is the downstream transport of benthic invertebrates in the water column, a primary food source for stream fishes and a means of dispersal.
Drift Away
Drift Away: Mentor Williams song first recorded in 1972 by Mike Berry and John Henry Kurtz; Dobie Gray's 1973 version hit No. 5, and Uncle Kracker's 2003 cover with Gray topped the AC chart for a record 28 weeks.
Drift chamber
A drift chamber is a gaseous particle detector that measures charged-particle trajectories by timing ionization electrons drifting to sense wires, reconstructing tracks and momentum in a magnetic field.
Drift detection (machine learning)
Drift detection is a family of machine learning monitoring methods that watch incoming data or a deployed model's behavior for distributional change and signal when retraining is needed.
Drift velocity
Drift velocity is the average velocity a charge carrier acquires in a material under an applied electric field, typically less than a millimeter per second in metals.
Drift wave
A drift wave is a low-frequency electrostatic fluctuation of a magnetized plasma driven by a pressure gradient; its turbulence causes the dominant cross-field transport in tokamaks and stellarators.
Drift waves and microinstabilities
Drift waves and microinstabilities, also known as the drift wave instability, are low-frequency plasma oscillations driven by density and temperature gradients, and they set the practical limit on tokamak confinement through turbulent transport.
Drift-diffusion model
The drift-diffusion model (DDM) is a sequential-sampling model of fast two-choice decisions in which noisy evidence accumulates to a boundary, separating evidence quality from nondecision processes.
Drift-wave turbulence
Drift-wave turbulence is the turbulent state of a magnetized plasma in which drift waves, driven unstable by density and temperature gradients, transport particles, energy, and momentum across magnetic field lines.
Drifter
Drifter names several subjects: an online feature-monitoring system for recommendation systems (arXiv 2023), a Sung Kang drifting film, a Kansas doom-metal band, Drifter Fest, Drifter hotels, and ocean-current drifters.

Drifter is a 2026 American sports drama directed by Sung Kang, who also writes, produces, and stars, following a racetrack janitor who gets one chance to compete professionally in drifting.
Drifter (oceanography)
A drifter, also known as a Lagrangian drifter, is a satellite-tracked ocean buoy with a subsurface drogue at 15 m depth that follows currents while measuring temperature and position.
Drifters (manga)
