See The Ocean from an
Amazing Perspective
The SeaSonde HF radar system by CODAR
Ocean Sensors is your solution for making
continuous, wide-area ocean observations.
The SeaSonde will provide you with years of
real-time data over large coverage areas, with
ranges up to 200 km -- This is not possible
with any other technology!
The SeaSonde is a compact, non-contact surface
current and wave measurement system that can be deployed and maintained
easily, and will perform even during extreme
weather conditions such as hurricanes.

High Quality Data
CODAR Ocean Sensors' patented technologies,
including our processing algorithms,
allow the SeaSonde to produce extremely
accurate 2-D surface current velocity maps
and meausres the most important wave
parameters. Patented antenna design and
processing algorithms enable the system with
up to 360º coverage. The patented pulsed
FMCW eliminates the range aliasing and
antenna wind-vibration noise inherent to other
HF system designs.
Focus on Your Application
The SeaSonde is an off-the-shelf tool that
allows you to focus on applying the data
rather than the technology of collecting it.
Whether your work efforts involve guiding
search and rescue operations, providing critical
information to maritime vessels, or driving
and improving numerical circulation models,
the SeaSonde will be an immense aid.

System Highlights:
Convenient: Nothing in the water: a truly non-contact
sensor. All hardware is located on the coast or an offshore structure.
The patented compact antenna design greatly simplifies siting requirements.
Reliable: All system hardware and software are
developed by our own staff specifically for continuous, long-term
field operations, and consistent data outputs.
Flexible: The software parameters are highly flexible,
yet designed to work smoothly, eliminating any need for you to
become a computer programmer or radar expert.
Automated: Data can automatically arrive at your
office at your preferred intervals, and can also be sent directly
to the Web for public viewing.

Remote Access: Data retrieval, system monitoring, parameter modifications
and even factory support are all conducted through system remote access.
Low Power: SeaSondes' low power consumption allow for
working off-the-grid with alternative energy sources.
Cross-Platform Data Format: All data products are stored
as ASCII files for convenient data transfer to various computer platforms,
incorporation into numerical models and GIS programs. |
