Atlantic Oceanographic Radar System Deployed 2021-08-12

The Nova Scotia Shelf CODAR Array was deployed on 2021-08-12 at Atlantic. The Atlantic region includes the Bay of Fundy and areas in the Altantic ocean. 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.
