“…HF radar is reliable in capturing spatial ocean surface phenomena with a high coverage (Paduan & Washburn, 2012), such as wave (Orasi et al, 2018) and surface currents (Abascal et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2008;Kohut et al, 2004;Paduan & Washburn, 2012;Solabarrieta et al, 2014;Yaremchuk & Sentchev, 2009) and, in particular, tidal currents (Tian et al, 2015) and tsunami (Lipa, Barrick, et al, 2012;Lipa et al, 2011;Lipa, Isaacson, et al, 2012). Indirectly, HF radar also gives information about winds (Kirincich, 2016;Lana et al, 2016;Orasi et al, 2018).…”
