Row Type Variable Name Attribute Name Data Type Value
attribute NC_GLOBAL cdm_data_type String Point
attribute NC_GLOBAL comment String The Research Implementation Unit (RIU) of the Ocean Frontier Institute operates long-range 5 MHz CODAR SeaSonde systems on the eastern coast of Nova Scotia to support tsunami detection, wave and wind monitoring, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, marine navigation, and pollution response. Total currents are derived by combining radial observations from multiple CODAR stations.

attribute NC_GLOBAL platform String surface_current_radar
attribute NC_GLOBAL references String CODAR systems are coastal land-based high-frequency radar sensors that estimate ocean surface currents from Bragg scattering and Doppler shift observations. The Research Implementation Unit (RIU) of the Ocean Frontier Institute manages the eastern Nova Scotia CODAR network, and total vectors are obtained by combining radial observations from at least two stations.
