Abstract
There is increasing interest, on the global basis, in the operation of ocean surface radars for measurement of coastal sea surface conditions to support environmental, oceanographic, meteorological, climatological, maritime and disaster mitigation operations. In south Korea, ocean surface radars are operating to monitoring oil spill, outflow from dike or preventing from safety-accidents in the 6 regions (16 radial sites) by main frequency about 13, 25 and 42 MHz until the present. However, that ocean surface radars have been operated on an experimental spectrum basis. In the results of 3~50 MHz band domestic analysis to improve the regulatory status of the spectrum used by oceanographic radars, it was demonstrated that sufficient frequency bands are available for oceanographic radars on the frequency band above 20 MHz. It is difficult to deploy and operate oceanographic radars in the sub-bands below 20 MHz except for 13 MHz band. For using HF ocean surface radars one should understand the spectrum environment in Korea and should prepare a suitable operating system and data processing techniques.
