Over‐the‐Horizon Direct Positioning With Ionospheric Heights Priors
This study addresses positioning errors in high‐frequency (HF) over‐the‐horizon (OTH) localisation that arise from inaccuracies in ionospheric virtual height measurements.

Modern spectral analysis in HF radar remote sensing. [PDF]
High-Frequency (HF) radar systems are currently used to collect wave data. By applying spectral analysis methods, such as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method, to the radar backscatter from the ocean surface, the so-called Doppler spectrum is ...

Ionospheric electron heating, optical emissions, and striations induced by powerful HF radio waves at high latitudes: Aspect angle dependence [PDF]
In recent years, large electron temperature increases of 300% (3000 K above background) caused by powerful HF-radio wave injection have been observed during nighttime using the EISCAT incoherent scatter radar near Tromsø in northern Norway.

Nightside studies of coherent HF radar spectral width behaviour [PDF]
A previous case study found a relationship between high spectral width measured by the CUTLASS Finland HF radar and elevated electron temperatures observed by the EISCAT and ESR incoherent scatter radars in the post-midnight sector of magnetic local time.

A CFAR‐like detector based on neural network for simulated high‐frequency surface wave radar data
This article presents a deep neural network‐based constant false alarm rate detector for high‐frequency surface wave radar. A deep neural network is trained to identify fluctuation parameters of each cell of a range‐Doppler power spectrum based on the patterns present in the neighbouring cells.

Abstract The high‐frequency (HF) hybrid sky‐surface wave system is a new early warning radar. However, due to the influence of bistatic angle and ionospheric phase path disturbance, the echo spectrum will be widened, which seriously affects the ability of detecting slow targets of ships.

Impacts of Auroral Precipitation on HF Propagation: A Hypothetical Over‐the‐Horizon Radar Case Study
Abstract Over‐the‐horizon radar (OTHR) systems operating in the high‐frequency (HF) band (3–30 MHz) are unique in their ability to detect targets at extreme ranges, offering cost‐effective large‐area surveillance. Due to their reliance on the reflective nature of the ionosphere in this band, OTHR systems are extremely sensitive to ionospheric ...

Challenges in Specifying and Predicting Space Weather
Abstract Physics‐based Data Assimilation (DA) has been shown to be a powerful technique for specifying and predicting space weather. However, it is also known that different data assimilation models simulating the same geophysical event can display different space weather features even if the same data are assimilated.
