Mapping of Ocean Surface Currents and Vertical Shear by High Frequency Radar.

摘要

The long term goals of this project are to apply the ground wave HF radar technique to the measurement of ocean and fresh water surface currents, near surface vertical current shears, winds and waves. By mapping these quantities with a spatial resolution of 1 to 3 km or better and a temporal resolution of 1 hour or better over areas of thousands of square km we anticipate widespread applications in marine science, military operations and commerce.
