Abstract or Project Summary
Background: Texas A&M Geochemical and Environmental Research Group operates 5 High Frequency Radars funded by the Gulf Coastal Ocean Observing System. These radars measure offshore current intensity and direction off the Texas coast up to 120 miles and provide near real-time service for a number of stakeholders. Each radar installation consists of a transmit and receive antennae as well as an instrument housing which for zoning reasons consists of a metal trailer with batteries and power supplies within the trailer. During the extreme weather of Hurricane Harvey these trailers and some of the power systems were significantly damaged in the radars at Surfside and Rollover Pass, Texas. We were provided funds from the NOS/IOOS system to repair these radars. This document is the final narrative of this report – the financial report has been submitted.
