| Abstract: | An HF radar observing system composed of CODAR SeaSondes is providing real-time surface current pseudo-Eulerian maps every hour in the strip of sea dividing Malta and Sicily. This initiative forms part of the CALYPSO project that aims to support the efficient response against marine oil spills in this busy area of maritime transportation in the Mediterranean. Besides servicing Maltese and Sicilian public entities responsible for civil and environmental protection, surveillance, security and response to hazards, the HF radar data are also shedding distinctive information on the surface circulation variability in the area at meso and seasonal scales. |
