As a part of HYD2M, two HF radar systems will be deployed, transmitting at two different frequencies (13.5 MHz and 24.5 MHz) to measure sea states and currents with a spatial range of one kilometer.
Moreover one X-band radar will be used to measure sea states with a spatial range of a few hundred meters.
A VHF radar (donated by the University of Toulon) will be setup to measure currents with a spatial range of a few hundred meters. It will transmit at 45 MHz.
The partners involved here are:
- Morphodynamique Continentale et Côtière (University of Caen Normandy, CNRS, University of Rouen Normandy)
- Laboratoire d’Océanographie Physique et Spatiale (Ifremer, CNRS, IRD, University of Western Brittany)
- DCNS
- Université d’Hawaii
- Université de Plymouth
- Université de Sheffield
