Iona Oceanographic Radar System Deployed 2012-07-12

The CODAR SeaSonde 25MHz VION was deployed on 2012-07-12 at Iona. The Iona CODAR station contributes to an array of CODARs to monitor surface currents in Strait of Georgia. 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.CODAR SeaSonde 25MHz VION型设备于2012年7月12日部署于艾奥纳（Iona）站点。艾奥纳CODAR站作为一套CODAR雷达阵列的组成节点，承担乔治亚海峡（Strait of Georgia）表层海流的监测任务。该设备属于海洋学雷达系统（Oceanographic Radar System）。海洋学雷达通过测量反射无线电波的传播时间，可实现海洋表层海流与海浪的近实时探测，为极端天气的精准预报提供支撑。该设备部署于固定式平台之上。本次部署产生的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外共享；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量保障与衍生数据产品制作工作。
