Description:
The HFR-TirLig network is built of 5 operational CODAR Seasonde HF Radar systems and 2 Helzel WERA systems to be installed during the year 2024. All the operational stations are collecting hourly surface currents and waves measurements along the coast of the North-Western Tyrrhenian Sea and Ligurian Sea. The operational network is composed by 2 stations emitting at central frequency of 13.5 MHz and 3 stations emitting at central frequency of 26.275 MHz, providing hourly radial current data with respectively 1,5 km and 1 km range resolution and radial coverage close respectively to 80 km and 40 km. The combination of radial current measurement provides hourly total current data over a regular grid with 2 km spatial resolution, over a total coverage of approximately 9,000 square km.

Operating Institution:
The HFR-TirLig network has been established, developed and maintained thanks to the Italian flagship project RITMARE, the EU H2020 Jerico-Next, Jerico-S3 and EuroSea projects, the Interreg Italy-France Maritime IMPACT, Sicomar-Plus and SINAPSI projects, the NextGenerationEU ITINERIS and RAISE Italian projects. The network has been designed, implemented and managed through the efforts of CNR-ISMAR Section of Lerici.
