Summer school on HF and X-band radars

In the framework of ANR HYD2M (P.I: A.-C. Bennis) dealing with impacts of wave-current interactions on tidal stream energy estimation, we plan to install four phased array HF radars (operated by Caen University), one VHF radar (operated by Caen University, CNAM-Intechmer and MIO) and one X-band radar (operated by DCNS) in Cap de la Hague to measure surface currents and sea state in Alderney race where the most tidal current of Western Europe occur (up to 12 knots). That is a challenge to operate HF, VHF and X-band radars in such hydrodynamic conditions.
