The high-frequency radar coastal network in Toulon operates in multistatic mode for the monitoring of the ocean circulation in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. With 2 transmitters and 2 receivers on 3 distant sites, it measures 4 different elliptical components of the surface velocity. We provide a methodology for improved current mapping using this augmented number of available projections and we show some typical results obtained during the year 2019. The validity and the quality of the reconstruction are assessed through comparisons with two types of in situ measurements, namely drifters’ velocities from a dedicated campaign and acoustic Doppler current profiler data from an opportunity oceanographic campaign. The results of these assessments confirm the accuracy of these high-frequency radar measurements and their ability to capture the meso- to submeso-scale variability of the near shelf circulation.

土伦的高频雷达沿海网络以多静态模式运行，以监视西北地中海的海洋环流。在3个遥远的站点上有2个发射器和2个接收器，它可以测量4个不同的表面速度椭圆分量。我们提供了一种使用可用投影的增加数量来改进电流映射的方法，并显示了2019年期间获得的一些典型结果。重建的有效性和质量通过与两种现场测量的比较来评估，即漂移器专用战役的速度和机会海洋学战役的声学多普勒电流剖面仪数据。
