Calibration, Validation, and Analysis of an Empirical Algorithm for the Retrieval of Wave Spectra from HF Radar Sea Echo
in Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology
| Description | We have documented the reliability of HF Radar current measurements and demonstrated the ability to provide spatiat variation in tidal flows. |
| Exploitation Route | New users of the sea are finding application of HF Radar systems. This includes Marine Renewable Energy and Search and Rescue operations as examples. |
| Sectors | Environment |
| Description | I have been requested on multiple occasions to present our work on using HF Radar systems to perform remote environmental and resource assessment to audiences of industrial users. Of particular relevance were my talks at the "Turning the Tide" workshop as requested by the Solent Offshore Renewable Energy Consortium in 2015 as well as my address NERC organised workshon on "Remote sensing and marine renewable energy" at the All-Energy Conference in 2013. |
