RAGG Operational
RAGG began operating on 5/17/2007. Total ocean surface current vectors will be produced using data from RAGG once its area of ocean coverage is overlapped by coverage from another nearby long-range SeaSonde -- in this case the long-range SeaSonde at Diablo Canyon (DCLR), planned to begin operation in the last quarter of 2007.
