Radars operating in the high-frequency (HF) band can exploit propagation modes other than line-of-sight and are hence widely employed to provide over-the-horizon surveillance and remote sensing.

Societal Applications of HF Skywave Radar
After exploratory research in the 1950s, HF skywave ‘over-the-horizon’ radars (OTHR) were developed as operating systems in the 1960s for defence missions, notably the long-range detection of ballistic missiles, aircraft, and ships.

Bistatic and Stereoscopic Configurations for HF Radar [PDF]
Most HF radars operate in a monostatic or quasi-monostatic configuration. The collocation of transmit and receive facilities simplifies testing and maintenance, reduces demands on communications networks, and enables the use of established and relatively

HF Radar Wind Direction: Multiannual Analysis Using Model and HF Network
HF radar systems have the potential to measure the wind direction, in addition to surface currents and wave fields. However, studies on HF radar for wind direction determination are rare in the scientific literature.

Calibration of Phased-Array High-Frequency Radar on an Anchored Floating Platform
Prior studies have highlighted the importance of calibrating receiver antennas in target direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and surface current measurement for high-frequency (HF) radar systems.

Remote Sensing of the Polar Ice Zones with HF Radar
Radars operating in the HF band are widely used for over-the-horizon remote sensing of ocean surface conditions, ionospheric studies and the monitoring of ship and aircraft traffic.

Finland HF and Esrange MST radar observations of polar mesosphere summer echoes [PDF]
Peculiar near range echoes observed in summer with the SuperDARN HF radar in Finland are presented. The echoes were detected at four frequencies of 9, 11, 13 and 15 MHz at slant ranges of 105–250 km for about 100 min.

Estimating Coastal Winds by Assimilating High-Frequency Radar Spectrum Data in SWAN
Many activities require accurate wind and wave forecasts in the coastal ocean. The assimilation of fixed buoy observations into spectral wave models such as SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) can provide improved estimates of wave forecasts fields.

Arctic and Antarctic polar mesosphere summer echoes observed with oblique incidence HF radars: analysis using simultaneous MF and VHF radar data [PDF]
Polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSEs) have been well studied using vertical incidence VHF radars at northern high-latitudes. In this paper, two PMSE events detected with the oblique incidence SuperDARN HF radars at Hankasalmi, Finland (62.3° N) and ...
