Attention:
Nautical X band radar and WAMOSII X band radar are two independend systems. For scientific use only WAMOSII radar can be used.
The system is run by staff of the Weather Station (DWD). Scientific co-use is possible according to prior agreement with AWI Logistics / Principal Investigator.
Summary
The wave radar system WaMoSII provides measurments and visualisation of waves and surface currents in a broad area.
