Comparison of measurements of sea currents by HF radar and by conventional means

Abstract An analysis of remote measurements of sea surface currents during MARSEN is presented. Remote measurements were made by high-frequency (HF) radars in the German Bight from September to October.1979. Moored current meters made concurrent in situ measurements several metres below the surface. Comparisons of instantaneous data sets show differences, which may be explained by vertical current shear. The computed tidal coefficients from HF and current meter measurements agree well.
