> Professor Lucy Wyatt will describe how HF (high frequency, 3-30MHz) radars can be used to provide measurements of waves, currents and winds on the ocean surface. She will discuss potential applications of this technology such as port and harbor management, coastal engineering, storm surges and associated coastal flooding, coastal erosion/accretion and impacts of climate change, vessel traffic services, offshore oil and gas, resource assessment and monitoring for marine renewables, testing of and assimilation into operational models, leisure activities such as boating and even long distance swimming.See examples of data from the IMOS Australian Coastal Ocean Radar Network (ACORN), based at JCU, and from other deployments across the world.
