ARI: Aquisition of a Radar for Mapping Surface Currents in the Coastal Ocean

该合同为评估、购买和测试海岸环流雷达系统（CCRS）提供资金，CCRS是一种便携式陆基雷达系统，用于测量沿海海洋的表面洋流。这个系统能够提供近实时的沿海海洋表面洋流地图，频率高达每20分钟一次。根据它的操作模式，雷达最大射程为45公里（1公里分辨率）或12公里（250米分辨率）。该系统将支持各种项目，包括GLOBEC和CoOP项目的研究。资金由ARI项目提供，费用由俄勒冈州立大学分摊。

This award provides funds to evaluate, purchase and test a Coastal Circulation Radar System (CCRS), a portable land-based radar system for measuring surface currents in the coastal ocean. This is a system is capable of providing near real-time maps of surface current over the coastal ocean as frequently as once every 20 minutes. Depending on its mode of operation, the radar has a maximum range of 45 km with 1 km resolution or 12 km range with 250 m resolution. This system will support various projects including studies in the GLOBEC and CoOP programs. Funding is provided by the ARI program with cost sharing by OSU.
