Partial high frequency bands were allocated to the operation of ocean surface radars that monitor the sea surface currents and waves in WRC-12. On that basis, government-related organizations revised the table of domestic frequency allocation. In order to study radio environments in the allocated bands for ocean radar, tests of the radio signal spectrum were carried at 7-sites using the receiver of the ocean surface radar system operated with a shutdown of the transmitter for 10-60 min. The results showed that no serious radio noises occur at 25 and 43 MHz bands, indicating a good radio environment for the ocean surface radar operation. However, at 13 MHz band, it was difficult to generate stable and confidential data from the ocean surface radar because serious radio noises occurred continuously.

본 연구에서는 연안 환경에 대한 대표적인 지상 원격 관측 기기인 Ocean Radar를 이용하여 장기파랑관측을 수행하였다. 지상에 설치한 기기로부터 이루어지는 원격 관측은 소수의 현장 기기 개수로는 관측할 수 없는 넓은 범위의 해역을 통시에 관측할 수 있고 또한 높은 빈도의 지속적인 관측이 가능한 장점이 있다. 장기관측을 위한 Ocean Radar는 과거 지진해일에 의한 피해가 발생하고, 원자력 발전소가 위치한 한국 동해안의 삼척지역에 대해 장기관측을 수행하였으며, 원격관측의 적용성을 검토하기 위해 수압식 파고계를 설치하여 각각의 조사자료를 비교하였다. 원격파랑관측은 연구대상해역 전면에 독일 Helzel사에서 개발된 Array type의 HF-RADAR인 WERA (WavE RAdar)를 2개소에 설치하여 자료를 취득하였으며, 장기간 연속된 관측된 자료의 취득률을 분석해본 결과, Ocean Radar 가 설치된 두 Site의 중심에서 약 24km이며, 약 27km의 범위 내에서는 Wave 자료가 90% 이상 취득되었으며, 시계열로 분석한 결과, 결측된 시간이 전체 계측기간의 1% 미만이다. 직접관측방식인 수압식 파고계와 관측자료를 비교한 결과, RMS 편차는 20cm 이내이며, 상관계수가 0.84 ~ 0.87로 높은 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 금회적용한 Ocean Radar는 기존의 파랑 계측 장비를 대체하여 장기간 면적 파랑관측이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

This study presents a modified scheme for the radar image simulation of sea waves. A simulated radar image was obtained by taking into account the dot product of the directed vector from the radar and the normal vector of the sea surface. Moreover, to calculate the radar image, we used the radar received power and radar cross section. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, the wave spectrum from field data was utilized to obtain the simulated sea waves. The radar image was simulated using numerically generated sea waves. The wave statistics from the simulation agrees comparatively with those of the original field data acquired by real radar measurements.

본 논문은 고주파 해양레이더의 특징과 한국 연안해역에서 해양레이더망으로 생산된 주요 결과와 정보를 독자들에게 소개하고, 현존하는 레이더의 운영현황 목록을 만들며, 레이더 운영기술과 해류자료 활용에 관한 정보를 공유하고자 한다. 지난 20여년 동안 국내의 해양레이더 수는 현저히 증가하여 현재 44기 이상이 연안에 배치되어 있다. 대부분의 레이더는 주로 레이더 운영기관의 임무에 따라 해양안전, 조류예보 그리고 해류역학 이해를 목적으로 운영하고 있다. 논문 저자들은 본 논문이 해양레이더의 활용성을 조류와 해류역학 이해의 수준을 넘어서 어업, 해양레저활동, 해양자원 관리, 유류유출 대응, 연안환경 복원, 조난자 수색구조, 선박탐지 등으로 확장하는데 도움이 되기를 바란다. 이와 더불어 본 논문이 국가 해양레이더망 체계를 설립하여 해양영토 감시활동에 기여하고, 신호처리 기술을 포함한 국내 해양레이더 시스템을 개발하는데도 기여하기를 바란다.

This paper describes the remote monitoring of breaking ocean waves generated by Typhoon Nabi, whose name means butterfly in Korean, using a marine X-band radar in the Yongho Man, Busan, Korea. The basic purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamic behavior and to estimate the periods of breaking waves across the surf zone from radar image sequences. In these experiments, the land-based radar system imaged the inshore zone of three miles from the coastline to a isobath of 30 meters. The wave period and the dominant wave direction for breaking ocean waves extracted directly from radar image sequences were 157.4 meters and 298 degrees, respectively. However, the result calculated quantitatively by the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) showed that the period of breaking waves was 154.3 meters. The average difference in breaking wave periods between the value extracted by using EBRL (electronic bearing and range line) of radar and the calculated value by CWT was 3.1 meters, showing that the CWT method is also accurate. These results suggest that a marine X-band radar system is a viable method of monitoring the breaking ocean waves.

Remote sensing wave observation data are crucial when analyzing ocean waves, the main external force of coastal disasters. Nevertheless, it has limitations in accuracy when used in low-wind environments. Therefore, this study collected the raw data from MIROS Wave and Current Radar (MWR) and wave radar at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) and applied the optimal filter by combining filters provided by MIROS software. The data were validated by a comparison with South Jeju ocean buoy data. The results showed it maintained accuracy for significant wave height, but errors were observed in significant wave periods and extreme waves. Hence, this study used an artificial neural network (ANN) to improve these errors. The ANN was generalized by separating the data into training and test datasets through stratified sampling, and the optimal model structure was derived by adjusting the hyperparameters. The application of ANN effectively improved the accuracy in significant wave periods and high wave conditions. Consequently, this study reproduced past wave data by enhancing the reliability of the MWR, contributing to understanding wave generation and propagation in storm conditions, and improving the accuracy of wave prediction. On the other hand, errors persisted under high wave conditions because of wave shadow effects, necessitating more data collection and future research.

The Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) lies between the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries of Korea, Japan, and China. The geographical positioning of the IORS makes it ideal for monitoring ships in the area. In this study, we introduce ship monitoring results by Automatic Identification System (AIS) and the Broadband 3G^TM radar, which has been developed for use in small ships using the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technique. AIS and FMCW radar data were collected at IORS from November 23th to 30th, 2013. The acquired FMCW radar data was converted to 2-D binary image format over pre-processing, including the internal and external noise filtering. The ship positions detected by FMCW radar images were passed into a tracking algorithm. We then compared the detection and tracking results from FMCW radar with AIS information and found that they were relatively well matched. Tracking performance is especially good when ships are across from each other. The results also show good monitoring capability for small fishing ships, even those not equipped with AIS or with a dysfunctional AIS.

Oil spills and red tide can be very damaging to the environment and fishery farming. These catastrophic accidents must be detected as quickly as possible. In this paper, we report the results of applying the wavelet transform to SAR or marine radar images for the detection of the boundaries of an oil spill or red tide. The application of the wavelet transform to these phenomena looks quite promising in detecting the boundaries of oil spills and red tide areas.
