The talk will be held in Midtown Atla nta and streamed to Cobb County.\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Stuart Anderson\, Univers ity of Adelaide\, University College London\n\nTitle: The physical basis a nd operational implications of an expanded palette of missions for HF rada r\n\nAbstract: The remote sensing and surveillance capabilities of HF rada rs are well established\, with roughly a dozen military grade skywave rada rs in operation by nation states\, around twenty line-of-sight HF radars c arrying out observations of the high latitude ionosphere\, several hundred HF radars exploiting the surface wave mode of propagation\, and a number of radars exploiting hybrid modes.\n\nBy far the most common tasks address ed by these radars are those relating to the measurement of ocean surface currents and sea state\; radar products of varying degrees of detail and f idelity are routinely generated by many operational radar systems. It migh t be thought that the maturity of the basic concept underlying the technol ogy\, now in its seventh decade\, would have led to a corresponding stabil ity in the palette of missions that these radars address\, and\, indeed\, that is largely the case. Moreover\, the evident satisfaction of many scie ntists and radar clients with the present family of products has tended to reduce incentives for major refinement and expansion of the existing rada r capabilities\, with attention focusing instead on the practical applicat ions of the standard products\, civil and military.\n\nThis state of affai rs is understandable\, but not inevitable. A number of studies\, especiall y some undertaken in the context of military radars\, have explored ideas that could dramatically expand the capabilities of HF radar in its remote sensing roles\, as well as its surveillance missions. The viability of sev eral of these ideas has already been demonstrated experimentally\, some ar e presently being investigated\, and others are being modelled in detail t o assess their merit. Almost all have implications for radar design\, oper ating procedures and signal processing.\n\nIn this talk I shall describe s ome examples of these frontier applications of HF radar and indicate how t heir successful implementation can be achieved.\n\nSpeaker(s): Stuart Ande rson\, \n\nAgenda: \n11:30 - Noon : Lunch\n\nNoon - 1:00 : Technical Talk\ n\nTwo physical locations will offer lunch at 11:30 AM.
