Coastal ocean dynamics applications radar information


A CODAR source, detected in Atlanta, Georgia, on 14195 kHz, as seen from a software-defined radio's waterfall display. The sweeping, diagonal line is the CODAR signal.
Recording of CONDAR transmissions on 4.630mhz

Coastal ocean dynamics applications radar (CODAR) is a type of portable, land-based, high frequency (HF) radar developed between 1973 and 1983 at NOAA's Wave Propagation Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. CODAR is a noninvasive system that can measure and map near-surface ocean currents in coastal waters. It is transportable and can produce ocean current maps on site in near real time. Moreover, using CODAR it is possible to measure wave heights and produce an indirect estimate of local wind direction.
