Ocean Radar - Coffs Harbour site - Wind - Delayed mode

The Coffs Harbour (COF) HF ocean radar site is located near the point at which the East Australian Current (EAC) begins to separate from the coast. Here the EAC is at its narrowest and swiftest: to the north it is forming from the westwards subtropical jet, and to the south it forms eddies and eventually the warm water moves eastwards across the Tasman Sea, forming a front with the cold water of the Southern Ocean. The connection between coastal and continental shelf waters is fundamental to the understanding of the anthropogenic impact on the coastal ocean and the role of the ocean in mitig...科夫斯港（Coffs Harbour，缩写COF）高频（HF）海洋雷达站，坐落于东澳流（East Australian Current，EAC）首次脱离澳大利亚海岸的区域附近。此处的东澳流处于其最窄且流速最快的阶段：向北，它由向西流动的亚热带急流汇聚形成；向南，该海流会生成涡旋，最终暖水向东横穿塔斯曼海，并与南大洋的冷水形成海洋锋面。近岸水域与大陆架水域之间的水体连通关系，是理解人为活动对近岸海洋的影响，以及海洋在减缓……的基础。
