The Department of Energy is proposing to provide funding to the State of Florida to replace equipment at two existing radar transmission sites that were damaged in Hurricane Sandy. The proposed project would replace a variety of equipment including antenna, electronics, cables, and a foundation at one of the two sites. The two sites would have different components which would require repair and/or replacement. However, both of the antennas would utilize radio frequency transmitters to measure the motion of the ocean surface in the Florida Straits from an existing Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center project offshore.
