Description:Described is a field experiment in which surface currents were measured by HF radar (called CODAR) situated in the German Bight. This study is part of the large-scale, international effort, MARSEN. Presented herein are hourly maps of instantaneous surface currents, tidal-current ellipses, and direct current averages. Analysis of the surface flow identifies the principal local feature as cyclonic semidiurnal tidal currents. The dominant general feature of the surface flow is a relatively weak cyclic pattern. This is the first part of a serial presentation of the CODAR MARSEN data set.
