Remote Sensing of Surface Currents Associated with the Chesapeake Bay Outfall Plume Using a Shore-based HF Radar

Abstract

The long-term goal is to understand the dynamics and temporal and spatial variability of the dynamics of the outflow plume and its subsequent transition to a coastal jet using the combination of VHF/HF radar observations as well as additional moored, shipborne and remotely sensed data.
