Description:
The ICATMAR HFR network is a CODAR Seasonde HF Radar system, retrieving hourly surface currents and waves along the Catalan Sea (northwestern Mediterranean Sea). It is composed by seven antennas, all of them emitting at a central frequency of 13.5 MHz, with a 90 kHz bandwidth. They offer hourly radial data with 1.66 km range resolution and 5 degrees angular resolution. The radial coverage is close to 80 km.
