Provided Ocean Data

WERA combines all information for modern Coastal Management

Measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution of Surface Currents, Wind Direction and Wave Parameters.

CURRENT
More than 200 km
Range resolution as fine as 250 m
Temporal resolution 3 to 10 min

WAVES
Significant waveheight and directional
spectra up to 100 km

WIND
Direction up to 200 km
Wind speed (under investigation)

SHIP-TRACKING
Up to 200 km
Non-realtime version for scientific applications

Maps of Significant Wave Height are available for each grid point within half of the radar range.

This wave map was taken at the east coast of South Carolina and Georgia.***
