Depending on radar installation, the range and resolution would typically be:- currents and wind measurements
50 km at 1 km resolution
250 km at 15 km resolution - wave measurements
25 km at 1 km resolution
150 km at 15 km resolution
- currents and wind measurements
- For each grid point, where the radar signal is sufficient, provides measurement of:
- surface current direction & speed
- wave height
- wave period
- wave direction
- full directional spectrum
- wind direction
- System diagnostics
- Radar malfunction alerts via text messaging or email
- Measurements of:
- signal level and noise level time-series and maps
- Doppler spectrum
- inversion quality
- data file delivery process
