Currents, HF Radar, US West Coast, RTV, Near-Real Time, 2012-present, Hourly, 500m

Published by NOAA NMFS SWFSC Environmental Research Division | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 07:16 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 04, 2022 at 12:00 AM
Surface ocean velocities estimated from HF-Radar are representative of the upper 0.3 meters of the ocean. The main objective of near-real time processing is to produce the best product from available data at the time of processing. Radial velocity measurements are obtained from individual radar sites through the U.S. HF-Radar Network. Hourly radial data are processed by unweighted least squares on a 500m resolution grid of the U.S. West Coast to produce near real-time surface current maps.
