Resource Abstract:
Surface ocean velocities estimated from HF-Radar are representative of the upper 0.3 - 2.5 meters of the ocean. The main objective of near-real time processing is to produce the best product from available data at the time of processing. Near real-time surface current maps produced on a 6km grid of the U.S. East and Gulf Coast are averaged on a monthly basis for climatological applications.

Title Monthly Mean Near-Real Time Surface Ocean Velocity, U.S. East and Gulf Coast, 6 km Resolution
other Citation Details  Only velocities with a dilution of precision below 1.25 are used and a minimum of 70.0% temporal availability is required for statistical calculations. Also, currents in the Straits of Florida are currently under review and may be released in the future.
