Description:
This HF radar system is composed by two CODAR Seasonde antennas (transmit frecuency 4.525 MHz) and offers many benefits for the Basque Operational Oceanography Network such as: the improvement of the knowledge about surface currents and their forcing physical processes, marine safety, search and rescue, pollution response, validation and calibration of both hydrodynamic and pollutant drift forecasting models, data assimilation on progress, etc. The access from raw radial data to processes 2D surface current is provided for scientific and applied purposes (Coastal processes, marine safety, search and rescue, pollution response, etc).
