Hecate Strait Oceanographic Radar System Deployed 2019-10-04

The Hecate Strait CODAR Array was deployed on 2019-10-04 at Hecate Strait. The Hecate Strait is a wide and shallow strait that is located between Haida Gwaii and the British Columbia mainland. 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.
