HF Radar Measurement of Surface Current around Taiwan ? Some Preliminary Results and Validations

摘要

To investigate the surface current around Taiwan, a HF Radar systemconsisted of 15 CODAR-sites was set up within past four years, from2008 to 2011. Due to radar function being sensitive to the environmentcondition, a practical example is used to illustrate whole procedures forthe construction of a radar site. Up to now there are three radar sites onoperation from end of 2009 and validation of the measured velocity isstill on-going. In this study, some preliminary results and validation arepresented.
