History, Present Status, and Fu HF Surface-Wave Radar
HF surface-wave radars (HFSWRs) offer two distinct advantages when used over the sea: with vertical polarization, they see beyond the horizon, and the interaction of their signals with ocean waves is simple and well understood. As a result, many HFSWR research test programs were conducted in the U.S., beginning 35 years ago. This author was fortunate to have been immersed in these programs from...
متن کاملHF Surface Wave Radar - A Review of Activitie
The remote sensing group of the University of Hamburg is working in the field of HF radar since 1980. For the start three CODAR systems have been purchased from NOAA/ERL (developed by D. Barrick’s NOAA group). Based on 16 years of experience a new system called WEllen RAdar (WERA) has been designed at the University of Hamburg in 1996. The new design aims to be as flexible as possible in order ...
متن کاملBacktracking drifting objects using surface currents from high-frequency (HF) radar technology
In this work, the benefits of high-frequency (HF) radar ocean observation technology for backtracking drifting objects are analysed. The HF radar performance is evaluated by comparison of trajectories between drifter buoys versus numerical simulations using a Lagrangian trajectory model. High-resolution currents measured by a coastal HF radar network combined with atmospheric fields provided by...
متن کاملHF Surface Wave Ra in Adverse Con
For the past 12 years the Canadian Department of National Defence and Raytheon Canada Limited have collaborated on a cost-shared programme to develop an Integrated Maritime Surveillance (IMS) system based on HF Surface Wave Radar (HFSWR). The primary objective behind the programme was to demonstrate the capability of HFSWR to continuously detect and track surface targets (ships and icebergs) as...
متن کاملHF Radar Sea-echo from Shallow Water
HF radar systems are widely and routinely used for the measurement of ocean surface currents and waves. Analysis methods presently in use are based on the assumption of infinite water depth, and may therefore be inadequate close to shore where the radar echo is strongest. In this paper, we treat the situation when the radar echo is returned from ocean waves that interact with the ocean floor. S...
