Review of the research on the application of ground wave radar current detection in China

Abstract

As an effective new type of marine exploration equipment with high measurement accuracy, high spatial resolution and high repetitive sampling frequency, ground wave radar is widely used in the field of marine environment exploration around the world. This paper introduces the current status of international ground wave radar development and the operation of ground wave radar sea current detection in China. Then the current status of current observation date’s application of Chinese ground wave radar is described from four research directions, including tidal current prediction, calibration and validation, data quality control and numerical simulation. Finally, the development trend of ground wave radar is briefly analysed.
