Detection and analysis of surface currents in western Guangdong by compact surface wave radar

Abstract

In order to study the detection performance of compact surface wave radar on ocean surface current in the west of Guangdong Province, firstly, the bistatic radar is set up to collect ocean echo data on the west coast of Guangdong Province. Then, by using the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm, the comparative analysis results of ocean surface current information and the actual measurement results of DVS Current Meter are obtained. The root mean square error of flow velocity less than 10cm/s and the root mean square error of flow direction less than 25 degrees were obtained. It shows that compact surface wave radar can achieve good results and has good detection capability in the west of Guangdong, china.
