summary: The data set consists of maps of radial and total velocity of the surface current along the coasts of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands (USA) averaged over a time interval of 1 hour. HF-RADAR measurements of ocean velocity are representative of the upper 0.3 - 2.5 meters of the ocean. The radar sites are operated according to Quality Assessment procedures and data are processed for Quality Control. Data access tools are compliant to Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), Climate and Forecast (CF) convention and INSPIRE directive. The use of netCDF format allows an easy implementation of all the open source services developed by UNIDATA.
