Where is CODAR Located?

Color Color
There are three CODAR stations installed for this project: Montauk Point, NY; Southeast Light House Block Island, RI; Misquamicut, RI. Using direction and range finding algorithm each station measures radial surface current velocities (the component of surface current velocity parrallel to the station at an angle relative to true north). These radial velocities are then used to calculate the surface current velocities for Block Island Sound (see figure below).
