OceanView Current Enhancements

Northern Radar Inc. (NRI) is working to expand its capability in ocean remote sensing of surface currents, surface winds and sea state, and is partnered with Memorial University to develop advanced HF radar algorithms The objectives of this work include a full analysis of NRI’s existing intellectual property, adapting and integrating the algorithms into new applications, to describe the inherent errors in the HFSWR surface current measurement, and verify and validate the adapted algorithms using data from upcoming field trials. The intern’s background has been primarily theoretical work in the university environment, and the proposed experience will be invaluable to the intern’s career development in the realm of radar remote sensing.
