Instrument Description
Oceanographic Radar System
Oceanographic radars measure the ocean surface currents and waves in near real-time, by timing reflected radio waves, and contribute to an accurate prediction of severe weather conditions.
High frequency land-based oceanographic radars provide important information for shipping navigation, incident response such as for search and rescue and oil spills, and tsunami detection.
