We tracked and monitored hurricane Anita over a 5-day period by using the SRI-operated Wide Aperture Research Facility (WARF) high-frequency skywave radar. The WARF-derived positions for Anita agreed to within +/- 19 kilometers of the coincident temporal positions along the National Hurricane Center's smooth track. Hurricane Anita passed near the open ocean-moored buoy EB-71 of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and measurements of wind direction, wind speed, and significant wave height made during this period at the WARF and in situ at the buoy showed agreement of 7 degrees , 0.4 meter per second, and 0.5 meter, respectively. The WARF estimates of longshore coastal surface currents showed good agreement with measurements made at a moored current meter.
我们使用 SRI 运营的宽孔径研究设施 (WARF) 高频天波雷达对飓风安妮塔进行了为期 5 天的跟踪和监测。WARF 得出的安妮塔位置与国家飓风中心平滑轨迹上的时间位置相差不超过 +/- 19 公里。飓风安妮塔在国家海洋和大气管理局的开阔海域系泊浮标 EB-71 附近经过，在此期间在 WARF 和浮标上进行的风向、风速和显著波高测量显示，分别有 7 度、0.4 米每秒和 0.5 米的一致性。WARF 对近岸沿海表面海流的估计与系泊海流计的测量结果吻合较好。
