Abstract :
Advances in high-frequency (HF) radar current measuring systems are discussed. Developments in the ground-truthing of HF radars during the 1970s and 1980s are reviewed, and direction-finding (DF) bearing determination with compact crossed-loop antennas is described in detail. Signal improvements are discussed. Ocean current data extraction and interpretation advances are described. Compact crossed-loop antennas, are discussed
