COastal raDAR (CODAR)

Background

CODAR (COastal raDAR), introduced in 1977 at NOAA by D.E.Barrick. It uses electromagnetic waves of about 10 m length, which interact with ocean waves of 5 m length. As one radar can only measure the radial component of the surface current, a minimum of two HF radars has to be installed. The systems are set up on the ground close to the sea and have a working range of up to 50 km depending on the salinity of the water and the sea state.
