A paper was presented at OCEANS'12 by the authors on a similar topic. The original paper was more of a formulation of ideas for automated quality control of HF radar data with only a listing of potential tests. This paper lays out the framework for the quality assurance methods and quality control tests for the entire data processing chain. The paper also synthesizes a number of papers that have been...
Ocean Environmental data is a key component utilized by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) when developing and executing a search and rescue mission. The Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System (SAROPS) became operational with the USCG in 2007 and is the main tool for developing search and rescue mission plans. This tool utilizes environmental data (wind, ocean currents, etc.) to estimate the...
Ocean wave conditions impact many ways in which humans interact with the ocean, from the safety of recreation at the beach to the viability of offshore operations. Wave conditions are also topical from a research perspective, controlling processes such as coastal erosion and ocean mixing. Therefore, being able to characterize wave conditions on broad spatiotemporal scales is extremely valuable. A...
Increasing the resiliency of High Frequency radar measurements has been a priority within the community for the past several years. One method to increase resiliency is through the use of a bistatic radar configuration, which is unique to the SeaSonde HF radar. This is achieved by separating the transmit and receive stations and then linking them through the Global Positioning System (GPS) reference...
The ephemeral nature of sea breeze makes it a challenging phenomenon to study. The sea breeze is an important wind resource that could potentially be harnessed to enhance coastal wind energy development. It is also an important force in coastal ocean dynamics and warrants further study. It would be convenient and inexpensive to study the sea breeze with HF radar, over broad spatial and temporal scales,...
Ocean wave conditions impact navigation, offshore operations, recreation, fisheries, safety of life at sea and hence the economic stability of any country’s maritime sector. Making accurate measurements of wave conditions will help validate wave models and will help with forecasts of the wave conditions over the next few days. The United States has put forth “A National Operational Wave Observation...
Gliderpalooza represented a grass-roots coordinated field demonstration of ocean observing technologies spanning the eastern seaboard of North America. The overarching goal was to coordinate disparate ocean research efforts, funded by disparate programs from a variety of agencies to demonstrate continental scale coordination of various ocean observing technologies to sample ecologically relevant scales...
Large numbers of ships travel up and down the East Coast of the United States daily, ranging from recreational vessels to cargo vessels. Especially busy areas are the approaches to New York Harbor. New York currently is the third-busiest port in the United States and it is growing rapidly [1]. The large number of vessels that travel in and around New York, and the expectation of increased numbers,...
The Mid-Atlantic Bight off the U.S. East Coast is a dynamic area with a significant coastal population and a heavy concentration of coastal and waterborne activities. The Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System (MARACOOS) was established to coordinate the variety of oceanographic data collectors and information providers in an effort to leverage efforts across the region and...
