Abstract
Three CODAR 25 MHz RADAR antennas have been installed in the lower Chesapeake Bay to observe surface currents. Over the past year, data have been produced that will be valuable for researchers, commercial and recreational interests. In this paper we give a description of the antenna sites, examples of data products, a comparison of CODAR data with Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data and present examples of potential data products for the future.
