IMOS - ACORN - Lady Elliot Island HF ocean radar station (Capricorn Bunker Group, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia)

The Lady Elliot Island (LEI) HF ocean radar site (-24.111 S, 152.713 E) is one of two HF ocean radars covering Heron Island in the Capricorn Bunker Group (CBG) in the southern region of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park World Heritage Area. The other HF ocean radar station is at Tannum Sands. The HF ocean radar coverage is from the coast to beyond the edge of the continental shelf.\n\nThe LEI HF ocean radar is a WERA phased array system with a 12-element receive array. This radar operates at a frequency of 8.348 MHz, with a bandwidth of 33 KHz and a maximum range of 200 Km and a range resolution of 4.5 Km. Azimuthally the radar covers a sweep 45 deg either side of a bore sight direction of 314 deg true east of north (approximately north-west).\n\nWithin the HF radar coverage area surface current radials are measured. Data are also collected from which wind directions and significant wave height can be calculated.\n\nThis station was decommissioned in April 2017.

埃利奥特夫人岛（Lady Elliot Island, LEI）高频（HF）海洋雷达站（南纬24.111°，东经152.713°）是大堡礁海洋公园世界遗产区南部摩羯-邦克群岛（Capricorn Bunker Group, CBG）内两台覆盖赫伦岛的高频海洋雷达之一，另一台高频海洋雷达站位于坦努姆桑兹（Tannum Sands）。该雷达的覆盖范围从海岸延伸至大陆架外缘以外。

埃利奥特夫人岛高频海洋雷达采用WERA相控阵系统，配备12元接收阵列。该雷达工作频率为8.348 MHz，带宽33 kHz，最大探测距离200千米，距离分辨率4.5千米。方位覆盖上，雷达以真北偏东314°（近似西北方向）为视轴方向，两侧各覆盖45°扫描扇区。

在该高频雷达覆盖区域内，可测量表层海流径向分量，同时还可通过采集的数据计算风向与有效波高。

该雷达站于2017年4月正式退役。
