A Bistatic HF Radar for Current Mapping and Robust Ship Tracking
A bistatic High Frequency (HF, or 3-30 megahertz band) radar has been developed for dual-use application to ocean current mapping and ship vector tracking. The radar can be deployed in a multi-frequency version, allowing it to sample ocean currents at different depths between 20 centimeters and 3 meters, and thus map ocean current vertical shear. The multi-frequency feature allows for more robu...
متن کاملHF Radar Bistatic Measurement of Surface Current Velocities: Drifter Comparisons and Radar Consistency Checks
We describe the operation of a bistatic HF radar network and outline analysis methods for the derivation of the elliptical velocity components from the radar echo spectra. Bistatic operation is illustrated by application to a bistatic pair: Both remote systems receive backscattered echo, with one remote system in addition receiving bistatic echoes transmitted by the other. The pair produces ell...
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 کاملPolarimetric bistatic radar scattering behavior of the ocean surface
this paper points out the frequency dependence on the polarimetric radar scattering behavior of the ocean surface in the frequency range 1-18 GHz (Lto Ku-band). We treat this problem with a unifying scattering model named Small Slope Approximation (SSA) to evaluate the Normalized Radar Cross Section (NRCS). The calculations were made by assuming the surface-height spectrum of Elfouhaily et al f...
