1 OC3570 PROJECT REPORT: A COMPARISON OF COASTAL CURRENTS USING LAND BASED HF RADAR AND SHIP BOARD ADCP OBSERVATIONS LCDR Steve Wall, RAN Winter 2007
2 Background High Frequency (HF) radar between 3 and 30MHz (wavelengths between 10 and 100m) propagating as a groundwave can be used to measure ocean currents. The consistency of the reflection of radio waves from the sea surface was first observed by Crombie (1955) and studies since have shown that the frequency doppler shift of the resonant (Bragg) scattering waves can be used to directly measure the motion of particles to the depth of influence of the resonant wave (eg for 12MHz approximately 1m) to an accuracy of around 4cms -1 with a range resolution (at 12Mhz) of about 3km. The HF radar system is usually located as close to the coast as possible to ensure maximum range and low interference with a series of trials conducted placing these sensors at sea (on buoy or ships) in order obtain currents further offshore or to use multiple receivers and transmitters to increase resolution and accuracy. CODAR on ships has been limited due to errors induced by ship motion, interference from the ship on the HF signal and These systems are sea state limited as secondary scattering can saturate the spectrum making the Bragg scattering difficult to discriminate from second order returns. For the 12MHz frequency, 7m wave heights are required to saturate the spectrum and these conditions were not met during the entire cruise with meaningful data expected for the duration of the cruise from the shore based HF stations. The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) was modeled on the Doppler speed logs, used to measure velocity through the water or over the bottom.
3 The observing period was from 23 to 27 January 2007, during the OC3570 Winter 2007 Cruise (Leg 1) onboard the R/V Pt Sur. The ship s track is shown at Fig 1. Method The initial plan for this project was to compare the HF groundwave data from the shore based stations to the HF groundwave observations made onboard R/V Pt Sur. Chad Whelan from CODAR was onboard for the first leg of the trial and the antenna pattern of the HF system onboard was measured. The system recorded data for the entire first leg and was to be made available for comparison with shore based measurements. The errors induced by the uncertainty in the ship s position and attitude were considered too great (25 to 30cms -1 ) and therefore that data will not be used in the comparison. Data from the HF groundwave Stations (locations at Fig 2) was obtained from Dan Atwater of the COCOMP in the format of hourly radials with approximately 800 data points (with latitude, longitude and u/v components of the current velocity) for each time step. This data was extracted using an mfile from Mike Cook (load_rdl) and was matched by time and ship position to the ADCP data by a program written with assistance from Mike Cook. The ADCP data from R/V Pt Sur was obtained from Prof Collins after it was apparent that the data from the CODAR equipment onboard R/V Pt Sur was not accurate enough for realistic comparison. The data was in the format of the top four depth bins (centered at 15, 22, 29 and 35m) at five minute intervals. This data was averaged over an hour and matched to the time, and location of the HF groundwave data for comparison. As the HF groundwave measures only the top few metres of the ocean movement only the shallowest bin has been used for the comparisons.
4 Data Analysis and Comarison There are two methods used to compare the data; the first is to try and match the ADCP data from every 5 minutes with the closest HF radar measurement. The table below shows how many data points were within the tolerances set (0.05 or about 1.2 hours - noting that the HF data is in one hour increments - and a distance tolerance of within 5 km noting again that the HF data resolution at 2 to 3km). The first scatter plots show the raw data of where the above tolerances were met, and in each case there were numerous ADCP measurements that met each HF radar measurement. The plots show that the correlation for the raw data is very low. There are a number for reasons for this: 1) As the ADCP data is sampled every five minutes there are up to 12 ADCP data points for each HF radar point which will lead to a spread of the comparison. 2) The ADCP data is a point measurement and the HF radar averages over a large area. 3) The ADCP is recording currents at around 15m and the HF radar at 12.4MHz measures the top 1m of the water column. In order to remove the influence of numerous ADCP data points against one HF radar point the ADCP data was binned to a similar rate as the HF radar using the HF data as the base. In this way The second method involved binning the ADCP data into hourly averages and then comparing to the nearest HF radar site using similar distance criteria as above (as the time criteria had already been aligned by the binning process). Limitations of comparison of these two data sets
5 Different time scales of measurement with different forcing mechanisms. Tidal forcing in Monterey Bay is a major source of surface currents whilst further offshore wind forcing is major influence. Different resolution for the ADCP data (point measurement) as opposed to spatially large HF groundwave measurement. Conclusions Acknowledgements Mike Cook for his MATLAB programming assistance Dan Atwater for providing the ground based data Prof Jeff Paduan for advice and assistance in obtaining the data and lecture slides from OC3522 Ocean Remote Sensing Chad Welan for telling me his data was not good (eventually) Prof Collins for providing the ADCP data Prof Guest for his enthusiasm during the cruise Marla for driving us back from the cruise Leg 1 Cruise participants (our illustrious leader Ivo, Rich, Dallas, Adria and my watchbuddy Ana) Crew of R/V Pt Sur for their assistance during the cruise These websites: BIG CREEK COMPARISON - RAW DATA
