High Frequency Radar Ocean Surface Applications to Extract Information on Ocean Surface Parameters

added on May 31, 2011 @ 2:09pm by OceansAdvance

The High Frequency Radar Ocean Surface Applications (HF-ROSA) project will develop a suite of commercial software applications to extract information on ocean surface parameters such as currents and ocean waves as well as ice and icebergs from data collected by the OceanView radar system. The project team is led by the Memorial University Faculty of Engineering and includes Northern Radar Incorporated of St. John's (the developer of Ocean View radars), the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The total project budget, approximately $3 million, is provided by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency through the Atlantic Innovation Fund, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and the Research and Development Corporation of Newfoundland and Labrador as well as contributions from project partners Memorial University and Northern Radar.
