dc.description.abstract | High Frequency Radar (HFR) technology refers to land based remote sensing
instruments capable of measuring surface currents and ocean waves at ranges up to
200 km or more. HFR technology is widely acknowledged as a cost-efficient tool to
monitor coastal regions and has potential use to monitor coastal regions all over the
world. Globally, the number of HFR stations is steadily increasing. Regional networks
provide real-time data in support of operational activities such as search and rescue
operations, fast response in case of maritime accidents and spill of pollutants, and
resource management. Each operator needs a general understanding of the working
principles in order to ensure that instruments are managed properly. A set of harmonized
quality assurance and quality control procedures is recommended, along with an
effective approach to HFR data discovery and dissemination, to provide high quality
measurements to the end users. Different documents providing best practices for
operation and maintenance have emerged in the past years. They are oriented either
to Direction Finding (DF) or Beam Forming (BF) systems, or to specific manufacturer’s
radar systems. The main objective of this paper is to offer a comprehensive “Best
Practices” document in an effort of ensuring consistency between different deployments
and harmonized operations of HFR systems. This, regardless of system manufacturer,
antenna design and setup. A homogeneous approach is given when possible, general
concepts and definitions are introduced in order to provide a framework for both data
processing and management steps. Examples are also given from the European HFR
users with focus on Near Real Time data flow suitable for operational services. | en_US |
