Collaborative Research: Advancing Observation of Coastal Winds with High Frequency Radar — NSF Award to University of California-S

The overall objective of this project is to produce a new tool for accurate and reliable wind observations from coastal high-frequency (HF) radar at the same resolutions as currents and demonstrate their validity via comparisons with in-situ observations. Considering the kilometer scale variations in wind and currents

AbstractThe overall objective of this project is to produce a new tool for accurate and reliable wind observations from coastal high-frequency (HF) radar at the same resolutions as currents and demonstrate their validity via comparisons with in-situ observations. Considering the kilometer scale variations in wind and currents will lead to advancing our knowledge of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. High frequency radar-based surface wind observations will fill a critical gap in our capability to obse
