Near Real Time Surface Ocean Radial Velocity by HFR-COSYNA-BUES

The data set consists of maps of radial velocity of the sea water surface current collected at Busum (BUSU) site in the German Bight (North Sea). Data are averaged over a time interval of 20 minutes. High Frequency (HF)-RADAR measurements of ocean velocity are radial in direction relative to the radar location and representative of the upper 0.3-2.5 meters of the ocean.
