Ocean Surface Currents Mapped by Radar

Science, 1977
A high-frequency radar remote-sensing system for measuring and mapping near-surface ocean currents in coastal waters has been analyzed and described. A transportable prototype version of the system was designed, constructed, and tested. With two units operating tens of kilometers apart, the currents were mapped in near real time at a grid ...

High-Frequency Radar Observations of Ocean Surface Currents

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2013
This article reviews the discovery, development, and use of high-frequency (HF) radio wave backscatter in oceanography. HF radars, as the instruments are commonly called, remotely measure ocean surface currents by exploiting a Bragg resonant backscatter phenomenon.

Interferometric radar measurement of ocean surface currents

Nature, 1987
A new method of measuring surface currents using an interferometric synthetic aperture radar is presented. An airborne implementation has been tested over San Francisco Bay near the time of maximum tidal flow, resulting in a map of the east-west component of the current. Only the line-of-sight component of velocity is measured by this technique.

Ocean surface current multiscale observation mission (OSCOM): Simultaneous measurement of ocean surface current, vector wind, and temperature

Progress in Oceanography, 2021
Abstract Ocean current is one of the major drivers of water mass, energy, and biogeochemical cycles in the global ocean–atmosphere boundary layer and also a key variable in the formation of extreme climate events (e.g., El Nino). Direct measurement of the global ocean surface current is of great scientific interest and application value for ...

Ocean surface currents mapped by radar

Proceedings of the 1978 IEEE First Working Conference on Current Measurement, 2005
A high-frequency radar remote-sensing system for measuring and mapping near-surface ocean currents in coastal waters has been analyzed and described. A transportable prototype version of the system was designed, constructed, and tested. With two units operating tens of kilometers apart, the currents were mapped in near real time at a grid of points 3 ...

Surface Current Measurements At Ocean Fronts

12th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium,, 2005
Abstract : Using a unique slope-following surface current meter, we have obtained measurements of near surface currents during the NORCSEX (Norwegian Continental Shelf Experiment) in March, 1988. These instruments were tethered to subsurface flotation on traditional taut wire moorings at three locations near ocean frontal areas.

Ocean Model Simulation of Southern Indian Ocean Surface Currents

Marine Geodesy, 2007
The dynamic importance of the Southern Indian Ocean (SIO) lies in the fact that it connects the three major world oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Modeling study has been used to understand the circulation pattern of this very important region.
