Wuhan University's ocean state measuring and analyzing radar (OSMAR2000) is expected to real time extract ocean surface current, wave and surface wind at medium- and long-range. To obtain long-range (i.e. 200km) current mapping, radar frequency must be selected in the lower region of the HF band, e.g. 7.5MHz. Digital beam forming (DBF) is applied with the 120m-long phased array to determine the bearings of sea echo with 150 resolution for wave and wind extraction. The angular resolution is, however, too coarse for current mapping, especially when the ocean current detection range is as far as 200km. Consequently, a super-resolution ocean surface current algorithm based on multiple signal classification (MUSIC) is developed for OSMAR2000. The relative theory basis, processing procedure and preprocessing and post-processing associated with the algorithm are given in this paper. The comparison of OSMAR2000 measurements with the measurements from current meter and the Seasonde system shows the ocean surface current algorithm based on MUSIC for OSMAR2000 can meet the requirements of the project contract successfully. 收起
