HF Radar Measurements of Ocean Surface Currents and Winds

Abstract

The long term goal of this research is to develop multifrequency, high frequency (HF) radar techniques and instrumentation for measuring surface currents, waves and winds in coastal regions and large lakes for scientific, civil and military applications. A related goal is to investigate and develop ship detection and tracking techniques for multifrequency HF radar. The goals include deployment of HF radar systems in coastal regions for air-sea interaction, coastal oceanography and ship detection research.
