Purchase of CODAR SeaSonde

9529554费尔南德斯 该合同提供资金用于购买CODAR SeaSonde海洋表面流雷达系统，该系统将与UCSC更大雷达网络的现有组件结合使用。 现有的CODAR传感器网络由位于Point Pinos，Moss Landing和Long Marine Laboratory的三个雷达组成。三点系统允许PI解决数据中的错误和不确定性，这是用一个或两个雷达系统无法解决的。 位于Moss Landing的雷达是一个较旧的型号，生成数据的速度比新版本慢。 （在提交本提案后，旧雷达发生故障，无法修复，不再可用。 PI建议用新的CODAROcean Sensor（COS）雷达取代旧型号的雷达。 该设备可用于支持重点改进蒙特雷湾沿海环流测量的研究项目。圣克鲁斯的加州大学为这一奖项提供了3万美元的费用分摊。 ***

9529554 Fernandez This award provides funds to purchase a CODAR SeaSonde ocean surface current radar system that will be used in conjunction with existing components of a larger radar network at UCSC. The existing network of CODAR sensors consists of three radars located at Point Pinos, Moss Landing, and the Long Marine Laboratory. A three-point system allows thePI's to resolve errors and uncertainties in the data that are impossible to resolve wtih a one or two radar system. The radar located at Moss Landing isan older model that generates data more slowly than the newer versions. (Subsequent to submission of this proposal, the older radar malfunctioned beyond repair and is no longer available.) The PI's proposes to replace the older model of the radar with the newer CODAROcean Sensor (COS) radar. This equipmentwill be used to support research projects that are focused on improving measurements of coastal circulation in Monterey Bay. The University of California, Santa Cruz has offered cost-sharing of $30,000 for this award. ***
