CODAR Satellite Overlays: Long Range

Rutgers University Marine Remote Sensing Mid Atlantic Bight - Currents & Temperatures are available online through CODAR (Coastal Ocean RADAR) Overlays on SST Satellite images. The satellite images that correspond with the CODAR (Coastal Ocean Radar) data, is described in detail in the following online documentation: "http://marine.rutgers.edu/mrs/education/class/josh/hf_radar.html". The images combine the satellite temperature images with surface currents from CODAR ocean Radar. The arrows indicate the speed and direction of the surface currents. Images will only be updated when there is a clear satellite image to overlay the CODAR vectors on. The naming convention remains the same (eg. image 010402.0725.n14.gif is from 01=2001, 04=April, 02=2nd day, 0725=7:25 GMT, n14=satellite #. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is 4 hours ahead of EDT from Apr-Oct, and 5 hours ahead from Nov-Mar. The number to the right of the image indicates the size in kbytes. The bigger the size, the more data there is. For those visiting the Jersey shore, go to "http://www.thecoolroom.org" Where you will learn about the underwater weather along the Jersey coast.
