Abstract

In this paper, three algorithms are applied to extract the wind direction using a month HFSWR data in an experiment with a single radar system. The preliminary results show that the three algorithms can all eliminate the ambiguity of the wind direction. And the RMS error (RMSE) obtained by the angle comparison multi-beam (ACMB) algorithm is 24.80 , which is better than the others. We can obtain that the ACMB algorithm is best available for extracting wind direction using the data obtained by this experiment. However, for the other data with different conditions, whether this algorithm is the best needs further examination.
