Abstract

ABSTRACT The SeaSonde 12.5 MHz radar was used to measure surface currents offshore Galveston for a one month period (March 1994). The radar generally performed well when sited with open beach exposure; however, data return was found to vary with wind direction, which led to occasional reductions in the total coverage area. Although useful for input directly to oil spill models, the utility of the radar current data could be improved through assimilation into hydrodynamic flow models.
