HIGH-FREQUENCY (HF) radar measurements have
been employed around Monterey Bay, CA, to
measure ocean surface currents since February
1992. The first array consisted of two older-generation
CODAR instruments located at sites near
Monterey in the south and Moss Landing, halfway
around the bay to the north (Front Cover: Fig. 1).
In 1994, the southern site was replaced with a
newer-generation SeaSonde system at Pt. Pinos
and a similar unit was installed near Santa Cruz on the northern shore of Monterey Bay. Finally, in 1996, the CODAR system in Moss Landing was
replaced by a modern SeaSonde unit.
