  • Observing the coastal ocean with HF radar

    Creator:
    O'Keefe, Sheila
    Abstract:
    Coastal-based high-frequency (HF) radar systems are an increasingly used tool for measuring surface currents in the coastal ocean. These systems provide a spatial and temporal resolution not achievable with other methods. Standard-range sites typically generate hourly maps of surface currents on a 2km grid extending approximately 50km from shore while...

  • An empirical statistical model relating winds and ocean surface currents : implications for short-term current forecasts

    Creator:
    Zelenke, Brian Christopher
    Abstract:
    An empirical statistical model is developed that relates the non-tidal motion of the ocean surface currents off the Oregon coast to forecasts of the coastal winds. The empirical statistical model is then used to produce predictions of the surface currents that are evaluated for their agreement with measured currents. Measurements...
