Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar
- Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar
Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar (CODAR) describes a type of compact High Frequency (HF) RADAR developed between 1973 and 1983 at NOAA's Wave Propagation Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. CODAR utilizes HF surface wave propagation to remotely measure ocean surface waves and currents.
