Time: 2024.04.22 Monday 14:30
Venue: Information Electronics Complex Building 1234A
Abstract:
In this presentation, the research on radar ocean remote sensing using high frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) and X-band marine radar (XMR) will be introduced. Firstly, the basic principles of these two types of ocean radars will be explained. Next, the representative methods and some most recent results for different ocean remote sensing applications of HFSWR and XMR will be illustrated. The focus will be on sea surface current measurement, wind field mapping, and wave information extraction. Finally, some challenges and future directions about these two kinds of radars will be outlined.
