Figure 1. High frequency radars (HFR) are land-based systems that measure the speed and direction of ocean surface currents in near real-time. Pictured above is the newly deployed HFR receive antenna, location and measured data coverage.
Cliff Merz, lead Principal Investigator from 国产短视频COMPS, said, 鈥淐onsistent data products from each of these three HFRs, when combined with other real-time observations, will provide valuable insight and enable a better understanding of the complex and variable surface outflow regions of the Loop Current System through the Straits of Florida.鈥�
