HOME: Hawai'i Ocean Mixing Experiment

High Frequency Radio measurements of coastal currents

Analysis of observational data in oceanography is highly iterative, with successive conclusions prompting new processing and improved interpretations. We link here to various texts summarizing our progress in the analysis of the data from this experiment.
