  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;High frequency (HF) radar measurements of the surface current averaged over the upper 0.5 m in San Pablo Strait were compared with current meter measurements of the subsurface current made at 9.4 m below mean lower low water (MLLW) over two 12.4-h tidal cycles. After averaging the radar and current meter data over two tidal cycles, a southerly (ebbing direction) surface current of 32 cm&amp;middot;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;minus;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was deduced from the radar measurements and a northerly (flooding direction) subsurface current of 7 cm&amp;middot;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;minus;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;from the current meter measurements. This nontidal flow is maintained by freshwater discharge from the Sacramento&amp;ndash;San Joaquin Rivers into Suisun and San Pablo Bays. The radar measurement technique provides quantitative estimates of the surface currents that previously were determined only from surface drifter studies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
