Integration of the HF Radar Network into Global HF Network is the culmination of immense work from various areas of the Hydrographic Institute.

Portugal being the 3rd European country with more observation stations of this typology, it made perfect sense to be on the side of the largest institutions in the world, taking on a global scope, namely the US NOAA, SHOM of France and IMOS of Australia.

Being on this global network means that data collection and processing meets the highest standards of quality control accepted by the entire scientific community.
