Abstract
High-resolution ocean surface current velocity measurements from high frequency (HF) radar are used to map the Florida Current jet structure, and quantify its fluctuations, in more detail than has previously been possible. Whereas earlier HF radar studies in the Straits of Florida focused on individual events, this research takes the next step by using a 2 year timeseries to quantify and characterize the mean horizontal jet profile, its meandering and structural variability, and the space-time structure of the velocity fluctuations.
