Conclusions11 th International Symposium for GIS and Computer Cartography for Coastal Zones ManagementDue to the new ITU regulations, the ocean RADAR technology will be much easier to use as the uncertainty ofgetting a radio transmission license is eliminated. This makes it attractive to use this technique even for short-termstudies with mobile equipment. These instruments are easy to deploy and provide excellent data quality andavailability at low costs with the convenience of on-shore installations.ASL Environmental Sciences Inc. provides turn-key Ocean RADAR systems for the measurements of Currents,Waves, and wind direction as well as for Tsunami Warning systems in North America which incorporate HelzelMesstechnik GmbH.’s electronic hardware and software.AcknowledgmentThe work described in this publication was supported by ACTIMAR S.
