ÔÆ¶¥¶Ä³¡app Leads Installation of New High Frequency Radar (HFR) near Marathon, Florida

Figure 1. High frequency radars (HFR) are land-based systems that measure the speed and direction of ocean surface currents in near real-time. Pictured above is the newly deployed HFR receive antenna, location and measured data coverage.
