1967-1972 Barrick derived theoretical basis for HF current/wave echoes
1972NOAA Mandate: Stop using linear phased array-style system and develop a smaller antenna footprint with no loss in data quality
1979Theory for Tsunami detection based on HF Radar presented by Dr Barrick at NOAA/ERL Wave Propagation Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado
1984-1994 Development of a compact HF Radar: the SeaSonde® by CODAR
2010400 SeaSonde sites along the world, Tsunami software implemented in some in the US, India, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam
2011
11th of March: “Following the magnitude 9.0 earthquake off Sendai the Usujuri and Kinaoshi SeaSonde HF Radars & mutliple additional SeaSondes along the US Coast operating at multiple frequencies detect for the first time a Tsunami”

SeaSonde HF Radar, ready to detect tsunamis
• A Tsunami is a shallow-water gravity wave that travels at v = √(g x d)
• The Tsunami orbital velocity appears as a band of surface currents approaching & receding from the HF Radar
Tsunami propagation
Linear shallow-water wave theory: height & orbital velocity are dependent
La Valetta – Malta / 29th of August of 2013 / CALYPSO Seminar
SeaSonde HF Radar, ready to detect tsunamis
• The under laying ocean surface current which we are normally interested in
• The phase velocity of the typical ocean waves which we know through the deep water relation
• On top of both => The orbital velocity of the tsunami wave which now interests us
SeaSonde is able to detect a tsunami based on the orbital velocity of the tsunami wave
Doppler velocity measurement is made out of 3 components

201211th of April: “A magnitude 8.6 undersea earthquake struck off the Indonesian province of Aceh and a weak tsunami wave was generated that was detected by the SeaSonde HF radars along Sumatra coast”
201313th of June: “A Meteotsunami that caused damages along the US New Jersey coast was detected for the first time by a SeaSonde HF radar”

SeaSonde HF Radar, recent news flashes
La Valetta – Malta / 29th of August of 2013 / CALYPSO Seminar
Oil spill response: EU TOSCA project conclusions
“Experimental campaigns have proven the benefit of HF radars as a powerful tool to provide satisfactory estimation of transport and to improve our response to oil-spill and SAR emergencies.”
La Valetta – Malta / 29th of August of 2013 / CALYPSO Seminar
Oil spill response: Analysis Deepwater Horizon
“A substantially better lagrangian prediction skill of the HFR-derived currents is not surprising, because the considered models are not constrained by surface velocity data and also do not account for processes affecting the transport by near-surface currents such as Stokes drift and small-scale turbulent wind–wave interactions. [Yaremchuk, Deep Sea Res. II, 2013]”
