The manner in which atmospheric energy is transferred to ocean surface current is not fully understood. Measurements of surface currents cannot be obtained from in situ sensors because of surface wave motions. Consequently, a recently-developed radar remote sensing technique that can be used to measure ocean surface currents is proposed, which can be used for future scientific investigations. In this Phase I efforts, Quadrant Engineering will establish the feasibility of a multifrequency microwave radar system to make surface current measurements and prepare a detailed design of a prototype system that can be built and used in a field experiment that can be carried out during Phase II.

大气能量转移到海洋表面流的方式尚不完全清楚。由于表面波的运动，不能从原位传感器获得表面电流的测量。因此，提出了一种可用于测量海洋表面洋流的雷达遥感技术，可用于未来的科学调查。在第一阶段的工作中，象限工程公司将建立一个多频微波雷达系统的可行性，以进行表面电流测量，并准备一个原型系统的详细设计，该原型系统可以在第二阶段进行的现场实验中建造和使用。
