The Seabird (SBRD) HF ocean radar site (31.281 S 115.444 E) was one of two HF ocean radars covering Rottnest Shelf and Perth Canyon on the Turquoise Coast north of Perth. The other HF ocean radar station was at Cervantes. It has been replaced by the Lancelin HF ocean radar site since 2013-03-19T00:00:00. The HF ocean radar coverage is from the coast to beyond the edge of the continental shelf. The SBRD HF ocean radar is a SeaSonde crossed-loop direction finding array. This radar operates at a frequency of 5.211 MHz, with a bandwidth of 50 KHz, a maximum range of 200 Km and a range resolution of 3 Km. The antenna bearing is 278 deg true east of north (approximately west). Within the HF radar coverage area surface current radials are measured.
