Two sites - one at Norfolk City beach and one at Bay Bridge Tunnel Island #4

The whole lower Bay is covered. Addition of a NOAA site at CPHN will provide coverage offshore and redunancy inside The whole lower Bay is covered. An additional NOAA site at CPHN will provide coverage offshore and redundancy inshore

Current and Future Data Coverage

Initial Products - Hourly vectors, 50 hour subtidal means, tidal ellipses, 6 hour trajectory

Data Quality and Validation

Baseline comparisons improved significantly using the measured beam patterns
![Page 12: Surface Current Mapping in the Lower Chesapeake Bay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/568143a1550346895db02142/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The radial speed should be the same from each antenna at the middle of the baseline.

Product development for specific users – Navigation channels, sewage effluent, Navy special ops.

Wave and wave steepness – NWS and
Weatherflow.
CODAR wave product to betested with NOAA/NWS and Weatherflow.
Probably only good during southward winds.

Trajectory mapping and optimal interpolation for hazmat

Future work
• We plan to tow an ADCP for further data comparisons focusing on key areas where we will collect data within a few radial footprints for at least four hours to compare with radials.
• Other comparisons will be possible using ADCP transects from routine monthly Bay Mouth cruises.

Comments
• ROW-G is critical to success of this RESEARCH to OPERATIONS program
• Creating products users can use is critical – this is usually not a vector map.
