| Summary: | The CODAR SeaSonde 25MHz VRID was deployed on 2016-03-28 at Ridley Island (VRID). The Ridley Island CODAR station contributes to an array of CODARs to monitor surface currents in Chatham Sound. 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 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices. |
