Santa Cruz Island Reserve

09 Sep, 03 AM - 09 Sep, 08 AM

Ocean surface currents are measured using LIDAR radio waves from an antenna based at the Navy site on south side of Santa Cruz Island. This is part of a larger southern California network of antennas. Measurements are used to improve measurement algorithms, investigate ocean dynamics, investigate transport of nutrients and larvae, and improve understanding of coastal ocean ecosystems. Posting of data in real time provides the potential for use in directing oceanographic sampling, search and rescue operations, and oil spill response.
