Purchase of CODAR SeaSonde

该合同为购买CODAR SeaSonde海洋表面流雷达系统提供资金，该系统将与UCSC更大雷达网络的现有组件一起使用。现有的CODAR传感器网络由位于皮诺斯点、莫斯登陆和长海洋实验室的三台雷达组成。三点系统允许pi解决数据中的误差和不确定性，这是用一个或两个雷达系统无法解决的。位于莫斯兰丁的雷达是一种较旧的型号，产生数据的速度比新版本慢。（在提出这项建议之后，旧雷达出现故障，无法修理，不再可用。）PI建议用较新的CODAROcean Sensor （COS）雷达取代旧型号的雷达。该设备将用于支持研究项目，重点是改善蒙特利湾沿海环流的测量。加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（University of California, Santa Cruz）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. ***
