HF RADAR - French Riviera (Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography) - hourly surface currents processed in real-time
Hourly High Frequency Radar (HFR) surface current data (ocean surface velocity) from 2 different stations located on the French Mediterranean coast (Toulon), processed in real time.
The total velocity is then reconstructed from the filled radial velocity files, and projected onto a cartesian grid of 1km x 1km.
The HFR data comes from two systems, one monostatic radar PEY (located at Fort Peyras, La Seyne sur mer), and one bistatic POB (receiver located at Cap Bénat - Bormes les Mimosas, and transmitter on Porquerolles Island). The HFR data is initially hourly sampled. The radial velocity are processed by an algorithm of Directional of Arrival Finding with a self-calibration method developed by our laboratory.

- Statement
-
WERA (Wellen Radar - Helzel Messtechnik GmbH) operated at 16.1-16.2 MHz with 50 kHz bandwidth (3km range resolution) and 8 receiving antennas from 2011 to 2018 on each sites and upgraded to 12 receiving antenna on Benat in 2018 with a better resolution of 1.5 km with 100 KHz of bandwidth.
More details of the installation and acquisition protocols can be found on the real-time dedicated web site http://hfradar.univ-tln.fr/ and in Quentin et al. 2014.7th EuroGOOS Conference Proceedings, Oct 2014, Lisboa, Portugal Buch E, Antoniou Y, Eparkhina D, Nolan G (Eds.)
