This web page is meant to serve as a meeting point for the marine science community members involved with applications of radio wave instruments to coastal oceanography problems. This includes application of high frequency (HF) radar technology to the mapping of ocean surface currents and waves by instruments commonly known by the brand names CODAR/SeaSonde or WERA.

The upcoming meeting, ROW-7, represents a return of the workshop to north America following a set of meetings in Europe and Australia. HF radar installations, in particular installations related to wide-area observing systems, are an important activity at this time in the U.S. ROW-7 will be an opportunity to exchange plans and results from those efforts, including the national program planning taking place at Ocean.US and the state-wide Coastal Ocean Currents Monitoring Program (COCMP) underway in California. As always, ROW-7 will also be an opportunity to exchange scientific results based on mapping ocean currents or waves using shore-based HF radar systems.
