Abstract :
Measurements of waves, winds and currents with the HF radar are presented to demonstrate their operational monitoring capabilities. These include measurements made during a 15 month deployment of the Pisces radar in the Celtic Sea to assess the feasibility of including radar as part of the UK wave monitoring Network, WAVENET, and measurements with the WERA radar on the Norwegian coast as part of the EuroROSE project. The accuracy of the measurements is discussed.
