The Nora Creina (NOCR) HF ocean radar site (37.329 S 139.850 E) is one of two HF ocean radars covering the Bonney Coast, South Australia. The other HF ocean radar station is at Blackfellows Cave. The HF ocean radar coverage is from the coast to beyond the edge of the continental shelf. \n\nThe NOCR HF ocean radar is a SeaSonde crossed-loop direction finding array. This radar operates at a frequency of 5.211 MHz, with a bandwidth of 50 KHz, a maximum range of 200 Km and a range resolution of 3 Km. The antenna bearing is 255 deg true east of north (approximately west by south-west).\n\nWithin the HF radar coverage area surface current radials are measured.\n\nThis station was decommissioned in March 2017.
