Race Rocks Oceanographic Radar System Deployed 2018-03-13

The CODAR SeaSonde 16MHz (SN 2016480) VROC was deployed on 2018-03-13 at Race Rocks. The Race Rocks CODAR station contributes to an array of CODARs to monitor surface currents in the Juan de Fuca Strait. This device is a Oceanographic Radar System. Oceanographic radars measure the ocean surface currents and waves in near real-time, by timing reflected radio waves, and contribute to an accurate prediction of severe weather conditions. It was deployed on a fixed platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.
