University of Connecticut (UCONN) developed a Short-Term Predictive System (STPS) that used CODAR data to make surface current predictions 24 hours into the future (O’Donnell et al., 2005). The STPS was implemented in the Gulf Coast area by applying 6 km CODAR data. Recently, the STPS system was upgraded to incorporate the effects of wind forcing. In addition, the STPS was enhanced by the use of covariance estimates in the Gauss-Markov procedure. Signal processing and data reduction refinements were also incorporated in the CODAR scheme.
