The Ocean Research Stations are constructed in the Yellow and East China Seas to conduct observations on oceanic, meteorological, and environmental components. For ocean waves, the stations have utilized the Miros Wave and Current Radar (MWR), which is a kind of remote-sensing wave observation instrument. Under mild weather conditions, however, the MWR tends to produce noisy measurements. To overcome this shortcoming, Miros Ltd. offers various types of filters including Reduce Noise Frequency, Correlation Check, Direction Filter, Reduce White Noise and Phillips Check. This study assesses...
