Oceanography Radar System Wera: Features, Accuracy, Reliability And Limitations, Thomas Helzel, Matthias Kniephoff, Leif Petersen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The WERA system (WavE RAdar) is a shore based remote sensing system to monitor ocean surface currents, waves and wind direction. This long range, high resolution monitoring system based on short radio wave radar technology. The vertical polarised electromagnetic wave is coupled to the conductive ocean surface and follows the curvature of the earth. This over the horizon oceanography radar can pick up back-scattered signals from the rough ocean surface (Bragg effect) from ranges of up to 200 km. The physical background, technical concept and environmental boundary conditions are explained. Results for various installations from all over the world demonstrates …

Modeling And Simulation Strategies In High Frequency Surface Wave Radars, Levent Sevgi̇
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Surface Wave High Frequency Radars (SWHFR) are taken into account in the content of modeling and simulation challenges. Examples related to multi-mixed path surface wave propagation, radar cross section (RCS) prediction, and total radar echo showing target, clutter, noise, and interference are presented.
