Abstract
The Australian Coastal Ocean Radar Network (ACORN) is a facility of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). It is one of a number of HF radar networks being developed worldwide for coastal ocean monitoring. HF radars can measure surface currents, waves, and winds, and the methods involved are summarized in this chapter. ACORN is described, and examples of the data products are presented together with some comments on their accuracy and availability. At the time of writing, only surface current data are provided through the IMOS portal in the form of files and maps that are used for scientific research, operational modeling, fisheries, and other applications. Wave measurements will also soon be available via the portal and are already being used for modeling applications.
