Last month, the University of Victoria’s VENUS program successfully completed antenna pattern measurements for its high-resolution CODAR Seasonde HF radar system. The two CODAR Seasondes were tested off the city of Vancouver overlooking the Strait of Georgia, near the Fraser River delta.
The accompanying map shows sample radial surface current measurements obtained from the Westshore Terminal test site. Total surface current measurements are obtained by combining these radial surface currents with those obtained from the other test site, located near the Iona breakwater.
“We are very pleased with the results in this highly urban environment” said Dr. Brian Whitehouse, president of OEA Technologies–Canada’s exclusive CODAR service provider. The folks at VENUS did a superb job of running the antenna pattern measurements and are on track for completing the installation as planned.
Further details are provided in the Spring 2011 edition of the VENUS newsletter.
