I think scientists originally got the idea from an accident where a ship carrying a cargo of rubber-soled sneakers capsized sending a swarm of shoes on a long oceangoing journey. Where the shoes finally ended up left most of the scientific community in shock forcing them to rethink their ideas about the currents of the pacific.

The rubber duck method might be somewhat lo-fi with significant giggle value, but it is a surefire method to evaluate ones theories about ocean currents.
