Short summary
In this paper, we provide a detailed description of basic sea surface circulation features in the Ebro River delta (NW Mediterranean) as derived from reliable high-frequency radar surface current measurements. An integrated quality control approach has been applied to ensure the acquisition of accurate radar data, which remains a priority for the research community. This work should be of interest to readers in the areas of operational oceanography and also to a broad community of end-users.
