Near surface velocity vectors in Mississippi Sound derived from high frequency RADAR data, 2018-01-01 to 2019-12-31

This dataset contains links to near-surface velocities in Mississippi Sound as measured by radial and total vector high-frequency RADAR (HFR) between 2018-01-01 and 2019-12-31. Radial data from the stations at Pass Christian Yacht Club, MS (PCYC, 30.3114N, 89.2447W) and the Silver Slipper Casino, MS (SISL, 30.2392N, 89.4239W) supplement gridded total vector measurements for the Gulf of Mexico region. Spatial resolution is as fine as 1 km, and velocities are representative of the surface 0.3 - 2.5 m of the water column, depending on the radar stations’s operating frequency and structure of the local vertical velocity profile. Actual and aggregated dataset file links are listed in a provided text file; data files are hosted at HFRNET and NCEI Archives.
