Abstract : Understanding the ocean currents and their impact on coastal ecosystems has been an issue that has gained wide importance in the limelight during the last couple of decades. The increasing incidence of natural calamities, such as tsunamis, which may pose direct threats to human lives and infrastructures, extends the need for monitoring systems. Employing these advanced technologies,including the Doppler Effect, would permit researchers to visualize currents with precision and also help improve early warning systems. The Doppler Effect gives, for the first time, a new approach to studying the currents of the ocean due to its characteristic of frequency change with respect to the place of the observer. As a matter of fact, this novel technique further improves the conventional techniques used for monitoring and offers real-time data acquisition capability that is highly important in terms of disaster preparedness and response. Eventually, this will integrate the Doppler- based systems, which have the potential to revolutionize oceanic research and greatly reduce some of the risks emanating from tsunami events.
